Kentville’s Pumpkin People Festival
October 2 - 29, 2021
Visit Kentville in October to experience the magic of the Pumpkin People. You never know what kind of silly antics you’ll see these gourd-headed guys getting up to!
The Pumpkin People really "dig" dinosaurs. So this year's theme is "Dino Discovery" and the Pumpkin People will be travelling back in time to explore the land and live amongst the dinos! We have it on "gourd authority" that Stegosaurus, Brontosaurus, and T-rex are all stopping by. We're keeping some of our other anticipated visitors a secret for now. Stay tuned and make sure you visit Kentville in October to see all 300 pumpkin heads for yourself!
Check out the related documents section to the right of this page for info about all the cool things happening in town while Pumpkin People are here. There is a handy Pumpkin People map to point you in the direction of all the fun to be had! Also, if eating is something you enjoy, visit our downtown eateries and try out the dishes and treats created just for the Great Pumpkin Palate Pleaser!
Finally, if you love all things spooky, you'll definitely want to visit the infamous Phantom Freakshow Haunted House! It's located in the Main Street Station downtown and details are below. Try it out if you dare! Proceeds benefit the IWK.
Save the date, and we'll see you in K-town this October!
