Will be going for the Christmas festival as well.” Google Reviewer 2023 “The Pumpkin Festival was phenomenal! We had a blast! Will make this a family tradition for years to come!” Lisa, Google Reviewer 2020 “It was well worth the money and the Parade at the end of the night is amazing.”Julie S., September 24, 2020 “This was our first time going to the pumpkin fest, we weren’t sure what to expect. The decorations were very cute and well presented, there were a few scattered events for children to participate in like a ‘pie eating contest’ and dance competition. The ‘Dino glow’ experience was nicely done. We certainly were not disappointed with our visit.”Google Review, September 28, 2020 Pumpkin Festival FAQs Do I need a ticket to enjoy Pumpkin Festival?
