Ah, fall – time for pumpkins, cider doughnuts, leaves splashed in color, and the 20th Annual Blackwood Pumpkin Festival sponsored by Mainstage Center for the Arts, Beneficial Bank, and South Jersey Mom and others. This year’s event takes place Sunday, October 2, 2011, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.(raindate: Oct. 9th) in and around the Blackwood Library, 15 S. Black Horse Pike, Blackwood, NJ. The festival draws 10,000 people each year to enjoy food, games, music, shopping among 200 vendors, and four stages of entertainment. Activities include pumpkin painting, hayrides, amusement rides, Jump for Joy moon bounce, a pumpkin carving contest, pony rides, face painting, pumpkin painting, a costume contest, and more.
“After such a long-hot summer, the Pumpkin Festival is a great way to celebrate the joys of the fall season,” said Anne Marie Weaver, Director of Special Projects, Mainstage Center for the Arts. “We look forward to welcoming and entertaining the thousands of families who make it an annual tradition.”
All proceeds benefit Mainstage Center for the Arts, a non-profit organization committed to providing affordable, quality arts education and entertainment for the South Jersey Community.
