Glow in the Cove

🎃 The second annual Glow in the Cove is coming to Saluda Lake Landing!

Looking for a new Halloween tradition with your kids? Come see Saluda Lake after sunset, when glowing jack-o’-lanterns drift across the cove. They can carve a pumpkin, watch it light up the water, and talk about it all the way home.

For three October weekends, we’re filling the cove with glowing jack-o’-lanterns. Carve a pumpkin with us or bring one you’ve already carved, then watch the pumpkins light up the water after dark. Bring your family, your friends, and your pets in costume—this is a fall night you’ll want to see in person.

📅 October 10, 11, 17, 18, 24 & 25
📍 Saluda Lake Landing | 605 Motor Boat Club Rd, Greenville, SC
🚗 About 15 minutes from downtown Greenville

Plan your evening:
🎃 Pumpkin carving: 5–7 PM
✨ Pumpkin glow launch: 7:30 PM
🎶 Live music on select nights
☕ Food and drinks available from the café

Choose how you’ll join the float:

🎟 $8 Pumpkin Float Upgrade — Bring your own carved pumpkin. We’ll provide a floating base and LED light.

🎟 $15 Carve & Float Package — Includes a medium pumpkin, access to our carving station and tools, a floating base, and an LED light.

🎟 $18 Premium Bundle — Everything in the Carve & Float Package, plus a hot chocolate from the café.

The first weekend overlaps with Oktoberfest at the Landing, so you can make a full evening of it. On October 24 and 25, Glow in the Cove also overlaps with our 8–10 PM Lunar Paddle—an especially memorable chance to be out on the lake after the pumpkins light up. Lunar Paddle booking is separate.

Come early to carve, grab something from the café, and find your spot by the water. Then stay for the moment the cove starts to glow. 🎃✨

Bring your crew and pick your night—we can’t wait to see the cove light up again!
