5th Annual PumpkinFest returns to West Vancouver Back this October for its fifth year, the West Vancouver Community Centres Society’s PumpkinFest fall festival will be the biggest yet. PumpkinFest has quickly established itself as an important part of our community, bringing families together much like the old-time country fall fairs it is modeled after - and raising over $140,000 for the Society in the process. With its back-tobasics theme, the festival brings families together to share experiences today’s kids often miss – like sitting on an antique tractor, learning how great-grandpa made rope, petting cuddly farm animals and even learning how to milk a cow. There’s a traditional Home & Harvest show
and competition, where proud locals show their best canning and baking, their biggest sunflowers and their fanciest handmade quilts. There’s an artisan market, an art show and sale, and a very busy “Family Zone” with all sorts of fun and creative activities for kids. Even though many of the exhibits and the entertainment – PumpkinFest has three separate stages – are of the modern age, they are all put on by members of the community, just like the fall fairs of old. The local police, fire, ambulance and emergency services people will all be on site with interactive exhibits, and like any good fall fair there will be lots to eat. So come on down, ride a pony, walk a pig, grab a hot dog and see what’s going on.
