Get ready, North Carolina, because this October the Carolina Pumpkin Spelltacular is digging in for another spooky year of bringing fall traditions to the entire family every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night from October 8 through October 31, 2021 at the Tryon International Equestrian Center in Mill Spring.
In case you’ve never heard of the facility, by day the Tryon International Equestrian Center and Resort is a world premiere equestrian and lifestyle destination located in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Google/Tryon International Equestrian Center The enormous facility covers 1,400 acres and offers lodging, restaurants, shopping, and equestrian-focused activities like horse shows and competitions as well as a gun club, and a golf and sports club.
Last year, the center began a new tradition and getting in on the ground floor of the Carolina Pumpkin Spelltacular means your family will start to create memories here asap… this month, in fact!

The Carolina Pumpkin Spelltacular takes place on the following dates: October 8, 9, 10, 15, 16, 17, 22, 23, 24, 29, 30, 31, 2021.
Carolina Pumpkin Spelltacular The event features five immersive attractions the whole family will love, although please note the Gold Rush Haunted Mine is not recommended for kids who are less than eight years old. It’s ripe for generating some nightmares in those too young to stomach the visual imagery.
Enjoy the sight of 5,000 pumpkins glowing each night as you stroll from one spooky experience to the next.
