Fall in New England is filled with crisp air, cozy nights, and traditions that bring families together. One of the most magical is the Roger Williams Park Zoo Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular, where more than 5,000 illuminated pumpkins transform the zoo into a glowing autumn wonderland. This beloved event was founded by John Reckner and brought to life by Passion for Pumpkins, a team of talented artists who turn ordinary pumpkins into extraordinary works of art.
This year, Cardi’s Furniture & Mattresses is proud to be a sponsor, celebrating creativity, community, and the comfort of the season.
A Rhode Island Tradition Worth Experiencing
The Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular has become a must-see New England event, drawing visitors from across the region. Guests stroll through breathtaking displays of intricately carved pumpkins—each one a glowing masterpiece—that light up the night with festive charm. It’s a celebration of artistry, family, and the unique spirit of Rhode Island.
At Cardi’s, we share that same dedication to tradition and creativity. For nearly 100 years, we’ve been helping families across Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Connecticut create warm, welcoming homes to gather in after unforgettable nights out.
From Pumpkin Glow to Home Glow
Just as the zoo is transformed into a glowing landscape of carved pumpkins, you can transform your home into a cozy retreat this fall with the right furniture and accents:
-
Warm Lighting: Add floor lamps, table lamps, or accent lighting to capture the soft glow of autumn evenings.
-
Comfy Seating: After a night of walking the trails, sink into a plush sectional, recliner, or power-motion sofa for ultimate relaxation.
-
Seasonal Touches: Layer in autumn tones—burnt orange, gold, deep green—through throw blankets, pillows, or rugs to bring the season indoors.
-
Family Gathering Spaces: A new dining set or modular sectional makes it easy to enjoy family meals, game nights, or Halloween movie marathons together.
