Those who worried the City’s annual fall-themed celebration might not return in 2020 need not fret; Pumpkinville will return in October with some notable changes. The event will move from its traditional Happy Rolph’s location and won’t feature its usual vendors, bouncy castles, animals, free pumpkins and pumpkin decorating contest. There is still plenty of fall fun in store, however.
This year marks our 32nd Annual Pumpkinville and to keep the fall spirit alive we will be taking over the St. Catharines Farmers Market. Join us on Saturday October 3rd and Saturday October 17th from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. at the Farmers Market.
To keep our community safe we will be offering a touchless family bubble photo booth, an online colouring contest, an online mask decorating contest and a take home craft package.
