Raising Cane’s Giant Pumpkin on Display in Downtown Denton, Texas

DENTON — For the first time, Raising Cane’s has partnered with the City of Denton to display a 1,910-pound pumpkin in Downtown Denton. The pumpkin, grown in Bloomfield, Iowa, previously won first place at a state competition.

The massive gourd has traveled across state lines and been transformed into a Halloween-themed jack o’lantern. It is now a spooky spectacle and public art display in the Halloween Capital of Texas.

Fans can enjoy the pumpkin for photos and Halloween activities throughout the weekend. The display encourages families, fans, and Halloween lovers to experience this one-of-a-kind event.
