Dallas’ Favorite Fall Tradition
“One of America’s Best Pumpkin Festivals”
– Fodor’s Travel
¡Mundo México!
This fall, the Dallas Arboretum transforms its iconic Pumpkin Village into ¡Mundo México!—an extraordinary celebration of Mexican culture, contemporary art, and the harvest season. More than 110,000 pumpkins, gourds, and squash come together to reimagine seven iconic regions of Mexico through breathtaking gourd artistry.
Monumental alebrije-inspired sculptures by world-renowned Oaxacan artists Jacobo and María Ángeles anchor this year’s display, creating an unforgettable journey that blends heritage, artistry, and the vibrant spirit of autumn.
