Events in Williamsburg, Va.

Pumpkinville is a fun, seasonal treasure in Toano, VA, part of the Greater Williamsburg area. Pumpkinville is operated by a local family farm. Your family can pick their own pumpkins from their patch or choose from our large selection of pre-picked pumpkins in the yard. In addition to pumpkins, there is a large selection of pumpkins, gourds, winter squash, flowers, wooden cut-outs, arts and crafts and fall decorations.

Fill fall nights with fright at Busch Gardens® Howl-O-Scream.® The park is celebrating 20 years of fears in this special anniversary year, with more haunted houses, Terror-tories™ challenging escape rooms and scares than ever before. Classic characters from past Howl-O-Scream experiences will usher in a new Era of Terror on unsuspecting guests. 

This new exhibition features more than 60 items made by sailors or artisans at sea. For centuries, sailors have used their leisure time to create objects and artworks that document life at sea, commemorate historic events or simply celebrate the extraordinary skill of the maker. Scrimshaw – carved or engraved whale ivory or walrus tusks, made by whalers – is one of the most well-known, sailor-made arts.

Nora Chidlow, an archivist at the U.S. Coast Guard Historian's Office, will discuss the history of the Coast Guard cutter, Tampa, from the time she was built right here in Newport News in 1912, to her sinking in 1918 during World War I. Tampa was one of six Coast Guard cutters sent overseas for convoy duty during World War I, and the only one that never made it home. Chidlow will specifically focus on Tampa's crew who perished during the conflict.
