The city of Boston broke the world's record for lighting 30128 carved pumpkins at a single time! The event was held on Boston Common, the city's main park, on October 21, 2006. You wouldn't believe how many pumpkins were there. It was pretty amazing sight to see! Almost impossible to move with all the people attending as well, estimated at over 100000 attendees. The 40 foot scaffold tower of pumpkins you see in the video holds about 2000 pumpkins alone. The event was sponsored by Life is Good, a Boston-based clothing company. Over $250000 in proceeds and donations raised during the event will go to Camp Sunshine in Casco, Maine which provides retreats for children with life threatening illnesses.
