Event Details

Show Your Creativity at New Canaan Library’s Annual Pumpkin Fest Carving Contest and Stroll! 

Come see the new Schubert Children’s Garden ablaze with jack-o-lanterns! Children and adults of all ages are invited to purchase and carve a pumpkin for display in the garden, which will be transformed into a spooktacular spectacle. 

To kick off the stroll, Ms. Marie will lead a special spooky storytime! Prizes will be awarded for Best in Show for Children, Teens, and Adults, Funniest, and Scariest Jack-o-Lanterns. All proceeds will benefit Family Services and the Children’s Room at New Canaan Library.

Join us for the Stroll, rain or shine!
