Carved at Descanso Gardens has enough weekend energy to earn a spot on the board.

It's a jack-o'-lantern walk set among the gardens' oaks after dark. This year Bobolito's 'Rhizome' moves to the Oak Grove, and the labyrinth gets new sculptures by Helsinki artist Alexander Reichstein, his first US showing.

What to expect

A timed-entry evening stroll past lit pumpkin displays, with seasonal food and drink along the way and dinner available at Farmhouse by reservation.
