Tickets are non-refundable but, if needed, can be exchanged for another evening of the event. Please call the Westerville Community Center at (614) 901-6500 for assistance.

There is free parking and shuttle service each night of the event. Check out the map below to see parking options around Heritage Park. Shuttle buses will run continuously between the event and parking lots. Please note handicap parking is available at the Westerville Senior Center.

Heritage Park has an entrance on both Cleveland Ave. and Main St. However, these entrances are only for the shuttles, volunteers and walkers. The event is located in the back of the park, so we highly recommend utilizing the designated parking lots and shuttle service. 

Westerville Parks and Recreation is in need of volunteers for The Great Westerville Pumpkin Glow. This event requires the help of many artists and community volunteers to bring intricate pumpkin displays to life at Heritage Park.

Individuals age 16 and up and groups are encouraged to volunteer. All volunteers receive free admission to the event.

To get involved, visit our volunteer portal.
