- Carved: The family-friendly Halloween event returns with hundreds of carved pumpkins lining the garden's lit pathways. View sculptures made of sticks and other natural materials and an expanded “Rhizome” installation by Tom and Lien Dekyvere, and don't forget to visit the Pumpkin House. Halloween-themed food and beverages will be available for purchase.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.

Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
