Pumpkin Fest Sat.October 10, Downtown Orting- FREE!

Are you ready to have some free, family friendly fun?

The 9th Annual Pumpkin Fest returns on Saturday, October 10 to all downtown Orting Parks (and some blocked streets) and it's free!

You will find that many of the traditional Pumpkin Fest activities are awaiting you- Pumpkin Food items at the Food Court, Rod and Car show,Pumpkin Pals Parade at 12, two music/entertainment stages, great vendors and more.
This year we have added treats for you because of a generous grant from the Russell Family Foundation- Puyallup Watershed Initiative including a free shuttle and tour of the local Chipping Twig Farm! Be sure to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to connect with local produced products and learn first hand about what's growing (and how) right here in the Orting area. Shuttle will run from 10 to 3 pm, so be sure to make it to the bus stop at the South end of the festival. Please wear appropriate footwear for a farm visit and no pets or service animals, please.

Also added this year is a mini-farmers market inside the Orting Station building. Stop in for local products and take part in the farmer scavenger hunt! Be sure to bring the kids inside the building for this!

The GREAT PUMPKIN will make an appearance. Can you guess how many seeds are inside this giant?

A Cinderella Pumpkin Carriage will provide a perfect Fall photo op. Come to Orting Station to find it!

The Point Defiance Pirates will be there to shiver your timbers and create a joyful experience for you.

Register now for the Pumpkin Pals Parade (free) or the Car Show. The registration forms can be downloaded at TacomaEvents.com - under Pumpkin Fest.
Bring the kids, bring the neighbors, call your friends- and come to the festival on the 10th- it'll be fun!
