Event Details:

Critical Mass is excited to present our Annual Pumpkin Parade, on November 1st. Bring your pumpkins out to shine one last time on Lent Lane in Downtown Port Hope!

This free event takes place annually on the night after Halloween (November 1st). It gives the community an opportunity to show off their creative designs and display their jack-o-lanterns for all to see!

At the end of the evening, local farmers are invited to gather up pumpkins to use as feed.

All remaining pumpkins will be composted courtesy of Harnden Haulage, facilitated by the Municipality of Port Hope.

Please bring carved pumpkins only.
We cannot compost painted pumpkins. 

Instructions:
Bring your carved pumpkins (with a tea light or LED candle) to Lent Lane between 3:00 pm and 5:30 pm on November 1st. 

When you arrive for pumpkin drop-off, volunteers and signage will be onsite to help guide you between 3-5:30 pm. If you need to bring your pumpkin(s) sooner, follow the signage and place your pumpkin in a row along the lane.

While this annual event is free to attend and hot chocolate is complementary, pay what you can (pwyc) donations to Critical Mass are greatly appreciated to support our efforts to bring free arts experiences and programming to the community.

We will also have a booth set up at the Little Station with early-bird Goose Ball Tickets, and Critical Mass Memberships.

ACCESSIBILITY:
The event is suitable for all ages and is stroller and wheelchair accessible.

DOGS:
If you bring your furry friend along, please keep them on a short leash, to avoid getting tangled up with other parade goers.


Rain or shine.
