Had a great time at the Downtown Port Hope Trick or Treat event tonight! Now we're looking forward to capping off spooky season and hosting everyone in Lent Lane on Sunday, November 1st to see all that community creativity on display at the 8th annual Pumpkin Parade. 🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃

Critical Mass Art: Port Hope's Annual Pumpkin Parade takes place on November 1! Bring your carved pumpkin, lit with a tea light or LED candle, to Lent Lane between 3:00 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. for one last chance to let it shine. Free pumpkin viewing takes place 6:00 to 8:30 p.m.

At the end of the evening, local farmers are invited to gather up pumpkins to use as feed. Remaining pumpkins will be composted through Harnden Haulage, facilitated by the Municipality of Port Hope.

Please note: carved pumpkins only, painted pumpkins cannot be composted.
