Old-fashioned fun

Something to do over the weekend


Rochester Public Market Pumpkin Festival

The Rochester Public Market is hosting its 40th annual Pumpkin Festival on Saturday, October 29th, from 9 a.m.-5 pm. The festival is free and open to the public. The festival will feature over 100 vendors selling a variety of pumpkin-themed items, including pumpkins, pumpkin pies, pumpkin bread, and pumpkin-flavored everything. There will also be a pumpkin carving contest, a pumpkin decorating contest, and a pumpkin pie eating contest.

In addition to the pumpkin-themed activities, the festival will also feature live music, games, and activities for children of all ages. There will also be a food court with a variety of food and drink options.

The Pumpkin Festival is a popular event that attracts thousands of people each year. It is a great way to celebrate the fall season and enjoy all that the Rochester Public Market has to offer.

Here are some tips for attending the Pumpkin Festival:

  • Arrive early to beat the crowds. The festival is most crowded in the afternoon.

  • Dress for the weather. The festival is held outdoors, so be sure to dress appropriately for the weather.

  • Wear comfortable shoes. You will be doing a lot of walking, so be sure to wear comfortable shoes.

  • Bring cash. Some vendors may not accept credit cards.

  • Bring a reusable bag. This will help to reduce waste.

  • Have fun! The Pumpkin Festival is a great event for people of all ages.
