Toronto Pumpkin Parade. Official Closing of Halloween

Toronto Pumpkins 1

Wise Wiki says that "A jack-o'-lantern is typically a carved pumpkin. It is associated chiefly with the holiday of Halloween and was named after the phenomenon of strange light flickering over peat bogs, called ignis futuus orjack-o'-lantern. In a jack-o'-lantern, typically the top is cut off, and the inside flesh then scooped out; an image, usually a monstrous face, is carved onto the outside surface, and the lid replaced" .

We thought it might be interesting what is the further destiny of all those decorated pumpkins when their holiday is over...

Pragmatic and economical farmers who widely sell pumpkins in October, concluded that carved pumpkins shouldn't be wasted. Traditionally, the next day after Halloween they arranged Pumpkin Parade - owners bring their creations for the last show.

This year the carved images weren't traditional, so many ideas were realized!
