This is a can’t miss Halloween event on Coast Highway 101 in Encinitas. Swami’s Pumpkin Lane in Encinitas, California, is a long-standing community Halloween tradition featuring hundreds of hand-carved jack-o’-lanterns.
- The Tradition: For decades, monks from the neighboring Self-Realization Fellowship Meditation Gardens harvest and carve large pumpkins grown in their gardens overlooking Swami’s Beach.
- The Display: The extraordinarily carved gourds are lined up along the pathway and street near the Self-Realization Fellowship Books & Gifts on Coast Highway 101 as a gift to local children and families.
- When to See It: The glowing display appears around Halloween, coinciding with local events like the annual Encinitas Safe Trick or Treat on October 31.
