Pet Show
Pet Show

We love celebrating all the four-legged guests who visit Pumpkinfest every year ✨🎃 In 2023, we had the revival of our children’s pet show sponsored by our friends at Global Pet Food Port Elgin and we can’t wait to see the evolution of this event in 2024! 🎃

Little growers have become such a fun part of Pumpkinfest over the past few years through our Grow with Us program sponsored by Port Elgin Home Hardware Building Centre & we’re so excited to make this a tradition! We’ll announce more details soon about how your young ones can get involved so make sure you follow along!

Spring time makes us think of all the cool rides that are being taken out of their garages for the season! 😍🎃 Who’s excited to get their classic car back out there?

There’s nothing like the sound of kids laughing, rides running and music playing ✨ Save the date for Pumpkinfest 2024 - October 4th & 5th!

This year we made our vendor market a ✨Street Party✨ and it was so much fun to see so many local & new businesses come out and meet some new customers!

This year we celebrated our 30th anniversary of the OLG Cinderella Carriage Classic Car Show and we might be biased, but this one ROCKED 🥳 Did you get to check out the car show this year?

Day one was amazing 🎃👏 see you all tomorrow for day two!!

Today is National Eat What you Want Day, but to us that’s going to be September 30th - October 1st 2023 😉🍕🌭🍔 Which food vendors are you most excited to see back this year?

Our car show turn out was fantastic - not only for the amazing classic cars who came out but also the people! Thank you to everyone who stopped by ✨🎃

Pumpkinfest would not be possible without the support of our amazing team of volunteers each year 🎃 Every year we have well over 200 volunteers to help in all aspects of our festival from pumpkin carving to car show parking. Volunteering for Pumpkinfest is a great way to get involved in the event and see it from a whole new perspective! Do you have a passion for local events and want to learn more? Our volunteer portal is now open! Grab some friends or volunteer on your own! 👉 https://www.pumpkinfest.org/volunteers/volunteer-recruitment/ 👈 (or visit the link in our bio)
