Kentville’s Pumpkin People Festival

Kentville’s Pumpkin People Festival

October 4 - 26, 2025

Visit Kentville this October to experience the magic of the Pumpkin People!

You never know what kind of silly antics these gourd-headed folks will get up to next—but you do know it’ll be fun!

Each fall, the Pumpkin People take over Kentville with creativity, laughter, and lots of photo ops. This year’s event runs from October 4th to 26th, and while we’re keeping the theme under wraps for just a little longer… trust us, it’ll be worth the wait!

What we can tell you:

  • Over 300 Pumpkin People will be popping up all around town in clever and unexpected ways.

  • You’ll want to follow the map and travel West to East along Highway 1, starting at Exit 14 (Coldbrook), heading into Kentville, and continuing through Park Street and Main Street.

  • This route hits all the best displays with no tricky turns or one-way streets to navigate.

  • Make a day of it! Stop downtown for breakfast, lunch, or a cozy drink. Our local shops and restaurants will be happy to welcome you.

Stay tuned—we’ll be revealing more details about this year’s theme and special surprises soon!
