Kentville’s Pumpkin People Festival
October 5 - 27, 2024
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!
Anyone who knows about the Pumpkin People knows they really love having fun with family and friends. This year, Pumpkin People are hosting Game Night in Kentville, and we can't wait to PLAY!
300 Pumpkin people will be having fun all over town playing board game classics like Clue, Monopoly and Scrabble. They love video games too, so they've invited their favourite game stars along! Donkey Kong, Mario, and PacMan are all coming to Game Night! We're keeping some of our featured games and guests a surprise, but you can see them all in Kentville October 5th - October 27th.
Consult the map to find the best spots. We recommend travelling West to East on the number one. Start from highway 101 Exit 14 (Coldbrook) towards Kentville and all the way through Park Street and Main Street. There are no one way streets or turns to navigate and you'll hit every major display! Stop downtown for breakfast, lunch, or a hot drink on your way through. Our shop owners will be delighted to see you!
