12th Annual Orting Pumpkin Fest

The Twelfth (12th) Annual Orting Pumpkin Fest will take place on Saturday October 13th in the City of Orting. Once again the festivities are located in the heart of town in the Orting City Park.
The Orting Pumpkin Fest is a food-oriented festival modeled after similar events in California, Ohio, and Canada. It’s a joint effort of the City of Orting, Tacoma Events Commission, Orting Valley Farmers Market and community sponsors. Our mission is to celebrate, promote, and enhance community spirit and pride with an affordable, fun, and family-oriented festival.
The festival is primarily a food festival that features items prepared with pumpkin as a main ingredient. The eight food booths will be run by professional vendors and by local not-for-profit groups working to raise funds for community projects. Besides lots of good food, the event will include live entertainment (see below) on two stages, 50 art & craft booths, commercial booths, local farmers market, rod and custom car show, games, bounce houses, activities for children, Point Defiance Pirates and the Little Pumpkin Pals Parade at noon.
