Newport Aquarium will kick off fall with giant, glowing, underwater octopus made of pumpkins

Starting Sept. 16 and continuing until Nov. 3, Newport Aquarium will have a new fall-themed exhibit.

Underwater Pumpkin GLOW will feature larger-than-life sculptures of aquarium animals. There will be an underwater pumpkin patch, a glowing underwater octopus and glowing exhibits.

The underwater sculptures serve as artificial reefs for the animals and leftovers from underwater pumpkin carving will serve as a snack.

Underwater Pumpkin GLOW is included with general admission.
