Great Pumpkin Festival

The Whitefish Bay Civic Foundation is putting on their annual Great Pumpkin Festival. We provide 1,000+ pumpkins and let the community carve them.

The Pumpkin Display will be held once gain at Old Schoolhouse Park, located directly across from the library.

Enter the Pumpkin patch, pick out a pumpkin and bring it into our carving tent! Prepare, design and carve your pumpkin at this family friendly event.

We provide the FREE pumpkins, carving tools, candles, and table space. Design a jack-o-lantern, and it will be lit and on display every night.


On the morning of Thursday, October 17, over 1,000 pumpkins will arrive and are off-loaded by a bucket-brigade of volunteers. Another 25 or so pumpkins, weighing 400-900 pounds are off-loaded by fork truck.
