The 20th Annual Ivoryton Pumpkin Festival Needs You!

ESSEX, CT — We are beginning our work in planning what will now be the 20th Annual Pumpkin Festival. (Oct. 23rd from 5pm – 7:30). With Covid 19 cancelling all events last October our 20th Anniversary is a year late. We can confirm that the band will return and so will our Coven of Witches! However, we need our communities to help more than ever. We need people, groups, businesses to CARVE PUMPKINS! I am not beneath pleading for your assistance in this area. What’s a Pumpkin Festival without Pumpkins? So please contact me directly if you have any questions. We will be announcing updates as we receive them. That will include any restrictions due to the pandemic. I am also looking for a day of volunteers as well. Hope all is well and your summer was fantastic. We are looking forward to Fall here in our 3 villages and can’t wait to see you all at the 2021 Ivoryton Village Pumpkin Festival.
