Description
Pumped for pumpkin season? We've got just the thing! Celebrate all things orange, round, and gourd-eous at BNC's Pumpkin Festival.
Carve your own pumpkin to take home and explore the history of this iconic harvest symbol—from its agricultural origins to the Jack-O'-Lantern tradition we know today. Wander through a colorful autumn scavenger hunt across the sanctuary, play fall-themed games, and learn about fall ecology. Enjoy delicious roasted seeds from your own carved creation while you celebrate.
A pumpkin donated from Ward's Berry Farm and all carving tools are included in the price of registration.
