Pumpkin Day is a free family event at Bissel Park that coincides with the Elora Farmers Market. We celebrate the fall harvest, featuring all things pumpkin. Scheduled the Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend, this event is aimed toward children of all ages. Pumpkin Day features a professional pumpkin carver, a bouncy castle, face painting, reptile show, great music, dancers, and pumpkins for carving.
We ask attendees to please bring cash or food donations for the Food Bank.
The best weekend of the fall season is here and the best place to be? Also here. Right here, in Elora. Why? Because it’s sensational!
This long weekend boasts many fine traditions for friends and family to gather and celebrate the harvest. In our community’s social calendar, it brings two of our favourite fall events – and we’d love for you to join us!
