What’s Happening at Pumpkinfest
This year’s Pumpkinfest has something for everyone in the family, from kids to adults. Here’s a sneak peek of what you can look forward to:
Games, Rides, and Entertainment
- Pumpkin-Themed Games: Test your skills and have some fun with a variety of pumpkin-themed games.
- Inflatables: Let the kids bounce around in a fun house maze, race through an obstacle run, slide down an 18-foot rainbow slide, or get stuck on a velcro wall.
- Bouncy Castles: What’s a fall festival without some bouncy castles? We’ve got plenty to keep the little ones jumping for joy.
- Train Rides: Hop on the train for a ride around the park—perfect for kids (and adults) who love a bit of adventure.
- Magic and Balloon Making: Be amazed by some magical tricks and enjoy some balloon fun, adding a touch of whimsy to the day.
Face Painting and Photo Ops
No fall festival is complete without face painting. At our fall-themed photo op setup, let the kids get creative with their favorite designs while you snap some memories.
Local Vendor Market
We’re shining a spotlight on local businesses and artisans this year. Explore the vendor market for handcrafted goods, seasonal treats, and more. It’s a great way to support the community while finding something unique to take home.
Unlimited Games
For just $10, you can get a wristband for unlimited access to all games and inflatables. Let the kids go wild with pumpkin-themed activities, obstacle courses, slides, and carnival games. It’s endless fun in one place.
Free Pumpkins
No need to go pumpkin hunting this year. We’re giving out free pumpkins at the event, so you can take one home for decorating, carving, or baking that perfect pumpkin pie.
Giving Back: Thanksgiving Food Drive
In the spirit of Thanksgiving, Pumpkinfest is also hosting the annual Thanksgiving Food Drive to support the Shelburne Food Bank. Bring along a non-perishable food item to donate and help make a difference in the community.
Mark Your Calendars
Pumpkinfest was such a blast last year, and we can’t wait to make it even more memorable this time around. With free admission, a $10 wristband for unlimited games, and so much to see and do, it’s the perfect way to kick off your Thanksgiving weekend. Whether you’re coming for the bouncy castles, the pumpkin games, or just to soak in the fall vibes, there’s something for everyone.
