- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 02 Oct, 2026 at 07:30 pm – Sat, 03 Oct, 2026 at 02:00 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: 🎃 Fall and the Halloween season means the return of the pumpkin. We say, "Go big or go home"!

To kick off our favorite season (both film festival AND Halloween!), Wolf's Head Film has organized a Giant Pumpkin Competition with some of our local farmers and growers. 

Local growers have been tending their pumpkins since early summer, all hoping to take home pumpkin glory and a $300 cash prize from the Canal Colors Committee.

Pumpkins will be judged by weight, with the heaviest pumpkin named the winner. Catch the winner announcement during Brew Street at approximately 7:30 p.m. Friday and admire them throughout the Houghton Fall Fest on Saturday.

Wolf’s Head Film is a Keweenaw nonprofit building community and creative culture through free and low-cost screenings and events. The organization also hosts the Wolf’s Head Film Festival, an October celebration of horror, obscure independent films, documentaries, shorts and all things weird.
