A Funky Halloween

Kick off Halloween after dark at Hofi Kalabash with an extraordinary glowing experience Curaçao has never seen before!

Come see the Curaçao debut of Extreme Pumpkin Carvings! You’ve probably seen incredible carvings like these online or on TV — and now they’re right here in Curaçao!

All over the world, "extreme" pumpkin carving has transformed the traditional jack-o'-lantern into an art form, with artists carving jaw-dropping, intricate masterpieces for Halloween. Each one begins with an original design, hand-illustrated directly onto the pumpkin, then carefully cut, etched, and shaved at different depths to create incredible detail, dimension, and texture — and when illuminated, they glow with dramatic effects.

Now, this unique art form is making its debut on the island, thanks to Curaçao resident Altin Rizi — an award-winning fine artist, sculptor, master woodcarver…and professional pumpkin carver. Forget ordinary jack-o'-lanterns; expect crazy faces, creepy characters, and special Curaçao-inspired designs.

For this collection, because of the island’s heat, Altin is carving professional-grade sculpting foam rather than traditional pumpkins. The material allows for the same intricate carving and looks remarkably real — but won’t rot or melt, making them lasting works of art.

And on October 24, you’ll have the chance to see this unique art form up close…. while dancing in costume because we’re making it a party! For one night only, Hofi Kalabash will be aglow with Altin’s latest collection of Extreme Jack o’ Lanterns!
