Enjoy live music, treats, hands-on activities and of course smashing pumpkins at this FREE all ages Halloween event!
COSTUMES ENCOURAGED!
Head up to the Esplanade terrace where you can smash your pumpkin onto the drop zone below. Our two pumpkin slide will keep things speedy so you can spend more time doing and less time waiting. While you make your way to the front of the line, you will keep warm with complimentary hot chocolate and enjoy sweet treats, a view that can't be beat and the toasty vibes of our patio heat lamps.
When you’ve had your turn on the terrace –don’t head home just yet!
There is lots to do:
•The Boo Revue! Performance by Puppet Stuff Canada at 3pm in the Main Theatre
• Cookie decorating (Baking with Candice)
• Spin Your Own Spider Web- Get creative with a hands-on art activity where kids weave colorful yarn webs and add their own spooky spider!
• Enjoy music from Sounds of Thunder
• Face Painting
• Food Truck- Road-Runner Smash and Dash
• Complimentary cookies and treats
• Free pumpkins for the smashing, while they last!!!
Stay tuned to our social media channels, the pumpkins may still have a little growing to do and so too may our event.
• This event is outside and as such is weather dependent.
• The pumpkins at this event are locally sourced. Many would otherwise be unharvested for market or come from a failed crop, impacted by frost. None of the pumpkins smashed at this event will be painted, so they can be used for livestock feed.
• Pumpkin supply is limited (500). First come first serve.
Participants are also invited to bring their own cut pumpkins from home. Pumpkins must not contain any additions (ex: paint, glitter, pins, or any glued on craft material, etc.). Only medium to small sized pumpkins brought from home may be dropped and must be released from the designated drop area, under supervision of program facilitators.
