If you haven’t had any plans this Thanksgiving long weekend, Pumpkinfest Toronto has something for all ages. From October 8th to 10th, PumpkinFest is a celebration of this fun and tasty gourd. The second annual PumpkinFest Toronto comes to Downsview Park (35 Carl Hall Road), with free general admission and parking at this outdoor event.
The most popular family activity at PumpkinFest is choosing that perfect pumpkin in the pumpkin patch, whether eating it for Thanksgiving or carving it for Halloween. Everyone has his or her own criteria for what makes that perfect pumpkin, especially children, each patiently taking time to find it among the many from which to choose. PumpkinFest brings the country to the city with the pumpkin patch, pony rides and a petting zoo with exotic animals from Hands On Exotics.
Other features of PumpkinFest Toronto include: the Food Truck Frenzy with Toronto’s best food trucks; contests – pumpkin bowling, pumpkin carving, pie-eating, costume and Little Miss PumpkinFest; face painting; inflatables, rides and games in the kiddie midway; the Pumpkin Express train; arts and crafts with Crafting for a Cure; an array of stage shows; a baked goods sale; vendors; and extreme sports.
