The Stoddard Avenue Pumpkin Glow

11/01/2025

🎃✨ Dayton, you’ve done it again! Another unforgettable Stoddard Avenue Pumpkin Glow is officially in the books, and our hearts are as full as the hill was with glowing pumpkins. Thank you for showing up, showing love, and keeping this tradition alive year after year.

To our incredible volunteers, the Glow Team at Keller Williams Advisors-Dayton, the Grafton Hill Historic District community, our sponsors, carvers, and every single person who braved the crowds, donated time, shared a post, carved a pumpkin, or brought a friend…YOU are the reason this magical tradition continues to shine.

This event is more than just pumpkins. It’s community. It’s creativity. It’s Dayton showing what happens when people come together for something joyful and uniquely ours.

We’re already dreaming up ways to make next year even bigger and brighter, and we hope you’ll be right back here with us.

🧡 Until then, thank you, Dayton.
🎃 See you next year!
