Dupont Fall Festival, Pumpkin Patch, and Bluegrass Jamboree

After the resounding success of last year’s First Annual Fall Festival and Bluegrass Jamboree, the Dupont Circle Business Improvement District is excited to announce that it will be bringing the festival back for a fourth year, continuing last year's smash hit: a festive Halloween spin! The event will take place on Saturday, October 25th from 1:00-5:00 p.m. in Dupont Circle Park.

Fall, family-friendly activities will include pumpkin and gourd painting, bluegrass music, and for the second time, a costume contest! We will be hosting three costume contests: one for pets, one for kids, and one for adults. Complete with judges and prizes for first, second, and third place of each contest, make sure you arrive in your (or your pet's) best costume for a chance at winning big! Costume contest winners get up to $100 valid at Dupont Circle's best restaurants! While this is going on, pick up a pumpkin around the park (while supplies last) and decorate it how you like with our provided art supplies! Enjoy the sounds of regionally renowned bluegrass band, Shannon Leigh and the Good Bygones, whom will be performing live on the main stage.

Games like cornhole around the Circle, live bluegrass music, free pumpkin decorating, and the chance to win prizes for dressing up in your best costume are all part of why Dupont Circle's Fall Festival and Bluegrass Jamboree will be the most family-friendly fall and Halloween fun you'll have all month! See you there in Dupont Circle Park, convenient to the Dupont Circle metro stop.
