What is PumpkinFest?
Our 11th annual PumpkinFest returns on Saturday Oct 28th from 1-5:30 with some great entertainment and plenty of pumpkins to carve, all in the name of raising money for Cradles to Crayons in Newton!
Why Cradles to Crayons?
Cradles to Crayons in Newton is a fantastic local organization that aims to end clothing insecurity. They provide the essential items children need to feel safe, warm, ready to learn, and valued. To learn more about their objectives and to check out other ways you can help, visit www.CradlestoCrayons.org. If you can’t make it to the event, consider making a donation in store at checkout or on their website!
How does it work?
Admission is $10 per person, and kids under 2 are free. It’s a great event for the whole family, and we encourage families to wear costumes! As always, every penny raised during PumpkinFest will go directly to Cradles to Crayons, and we keep none of it to cover our costs. Our cashiers will also be accepting additional donations in the days leading up to the event.
What do I get with admission?
- Unlimited Pumpkin Carving for our Roadside Jack-o-Lantern Display
- Snacks and Treats (cider, apples, donut holes, etc.)
- Face Painting & Photo Booth sponsored by Needham Bank
- 1pm Music by Backwards Hats
- 2:30pm Big Joe the Storyteller
- 4pm Rock n’ Roll Singalong with Thomas
- 3-5pm Musical Instrument “Petting Zoo” from Bach2Rock Wellesley
And join us for our Lit Pumpkin Stroll around 6pm to check out all the pumpkins you carved throughout the day!
