Celebrate all that fall has to offer at Pumpkin Fest (1)
Leaves are falling, the air is getting cooler and Pumpkin Fest will ‘leaf’ you loving fall even more! The Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury is hosting the 10th annual Pumpkin Fest on Saturday, October 17 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Henderson Memorial Park located on Line 9 just west of Sideroad 10.
Pumpkin Fest is an all-ages event that includes live on-stage music, busker performances, wagon rides, pumpkin carving (one per child, while supplies last) and the Bradford Farmers’ Market. All activities are free, including an inflatable corn maze, mini-golf and other games, as well as face painting and a caricature artist. The main stage will feature music from The Beresfords, along with kid-friendly entertainment and music from Team T & J and Russ Clayton. Special guests include BWG Fire & Emergency Services, who will be providing public education.
Pumpkin Fest has become a wonderful fall tradition in BWG, and we’re excited to celebrate its 10th anniversary with our community,” said Mayor James Leduc. “This free, family-friendly event is a great opportunity to enjoy a day outdoors, support local businesses and farmers’ market vendors, and make memories together. We’re grateful to our sponsors, volunteers, local businesses and Town staff who help make Pumpkin Fest possible, and we look forward to welcoming residents and visitors to Henderson Memorial Park this October.”
