Keene Pumpkin Festival: A New England Tradition for over 20 years!

Three hundred and sixty-four days a year Keene, NH, is a quintessential New England community with a pristine church at the head of a welcoming square. On October 20, 2012, that square will abound with jack-o'lanterns carved by area school children! The bandstand will come alive entertainment and a tower of pumpkins so spectacular it is called "spell-binding" will rival the church steeple. Delectables in the Food & Craft Court will send forth aromas of apple crisp and maple cotton candy throughout the pumpkin-lined city streets. Eight world records and 21 years later, Keene Pumpkin Festival is the darling of New England events. Admission is a suggested donation of $5 per adult plus a carved pumpkin.

Don't go to Pumpkin Fest with-out a carved pumpkin. It's like showing up to a birthday party with-out a card. Click here to visit their website for awesome photos, other ways to help and more.
