A Picture-Perfect Return: The Pumpkin Arch

Fall in New York is iconic — and in the Seaport, it’s framed with pumpkins, foliage, and skyline views. Back by popular demand, the Pumpkin Arch returns to Pier 17 on October 22, transforming the Heineken Riverdeck into a seasonal photo dream.

Crafted from hundreds of pumpkins and draped in vibrant fall leaves, the towering arch offers more than just a photo op. It captures the essence of the season — with the Brooklyn Bridge as its backdrop and twinkling lights that glow into the evening.

While you’re at the Seaport, make time for seasonal bites at Malibu Farm New York, where autumn has hit the menu with items like Roasted Butternut Squash Flatbread and Harvest Salad, or grab something sweet from the Tin Building by Jean-Georges.

Perfect by day, even more magical by night — this limited-time installation is your cue to plan a fall outing, camera in hand.

Tip: Visit during golden hour for the dreamiest lighting.
