Pumpkin Smash

Saturday, November 7, 2026 · 9:00 AM – 11:00 AM

Don't trash pumpkins—bring them to Village Green Park to be smashed! Participate in this pumpkin composting initiative to help divert waste from landfills. Before smashing, pumpkins must be weighed and cleared of all decorations and candles (painted pumpkins cannot be accepted). Participants have the option to drop off pumpkins or stay to participate in the smashing; those staying to smash should bring a baseball bat or shovel. No registration is required for this free event.
