Please RSVP, even if you are just going to view the festivities.
Bring your pumpkins down to Perry Lane & Vine St. for a huge Pumpkin carving event — tables and strawbales are setup and everyone carves their pumpkins. If you choose to carve your pumpkins at home, please bring the down for our world famous Pumpkin Carving Awards. Everyone then can enjoy the viewing of our neighbor’s artistic inspirations.
Finished pumpkins are set together for viewing — last few years we have had 50+ pumpkins carved! Please take your pumpkins home after the celebration and awards.
Activities happening in the afternoon and finishing with a Halloween parade, pumpkin carving awards, music, and lots of food and snacks.
All events — No age limit – Teens, seniors, kids, toddlers, parents, grandkids, aunts, uncles, friends, cousins, ghosts, … Its all fun!
Pumpkin Carving this year starts at 2:00 pm and pumpkin carving awards will be awarded after the parade. You can and should pick up your pumpkins after the event. An alternative is to carve your pumpkins at home and bring them down for viewing and awards.
The Halloween Parade with costumes will start on Perry. Parade gathering time is 4:00 and set to start promptly at 4:15. Lots of photo ops, and a great chance to socialize with your favorite ghouls and spooks.
Please use the Halloween Form to leave a comment, RSVP, or Volunteer.
