In early 2009, the Victoria Truth Centre extended the use of their facility to present Pumpkin Art in October, and store the display year round. Victoria Truth Centre is located at 1201 Fort Street in downtown Victoria.
Event hours are 5 pm - 10 pm daily,
October 28th - 31st, 2010 with admission by donation.
