Jack-O-Lantern Jubilee

About

Get spirited away at the second annual Jack-O-Lantern Jubilee presented by WaterStone Bank on Saturday, October 28, from 11 AM - 2 PM, in Red Arrow Park. We'll cast a spell on Downtown and brew a not-so-scary Halloween festival for ghosts and ghouls of all ages! The event features free pumpkins, pumpkin painting, pumpkin carving, live musical performances, story time, a children's costume parade, and so much more!
