Keene Pumpkin Festival

Ever wonder what over 25,000 lit jack-o-lanterns looks like?

Keene, NH Pumpkin Festival

One of my favorite things to do in the fall is visit the annual Pumpkin Festival in Keene, New Hampshire.  Every October thousands of people gather in this small town with thier jack-o-lanterns to be a part of this great event.  This year the 19th Annual Keene Pumpkin Festival will be held on Saturday, October 17th from 10 am to 9 pm.  Spend the day checking out the pumpkins, carve one if you forgot to bring one, browse the vendors, participate in the costume parade, and check out all of the street entertainers.  At dusk you are treated to an amazing scene as all of the jack-o-lanterns are finally lit, including the two towers at each end of the street.    Year after year the festival continues to break to records for the most lit jack-o-lanterns.  It’s an amazing sight.  So start carving your pumpkin and help them break the record again this year!
