Pumpkin Sale To Support Students Returns At Vienna's Carnegie Diner Cafe

VIENNA, VA — Carnegie Diner Café's Vienna location will bring back its Pumpkin Sale for another year to support Madison High School students. The restaurant is also serving as the title sponsor of the Vienna Halloween Parade on Wednesday, Oct. 29.

The restaurant opened its Vienna location in 2024 and started a pumpkin sale that fall with proceeds supporting Madison High School students. This year's sale launched on Oct. 1 and continues for the rest of the month. Pumpkins start at $4.

"Our restaurant is just a short walk from Madison High School, and over time— many students have made our space their go-to spot to gather with friends," the restaurant shared on social media. "That’s why this tradition means so much to us—we’re pleased to announce 100% of the proceeds from our Pumpkin Sale will benefit the James Madison High School Student Government Association, supporting prom, special events, and other student activities."

The restaurant will also have an impact on the Vienna Halloween Parade, which runs along Maple Avenue at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 29. The parade theme is Broadway on Maple, and the grand marshal is Vienna Theatre Company's Eric Storck.
