Park Your Pumpkin
The celebrations don’t end on Oct. 21.
On Thursday, Nov. 1, residents can head to the Bradley Museum to park their pumpkin.
The event will let you do something fun with your pumpkin.
“Is your pumpkin sad and lonely the day after Halloween? Afraid of what the future holds? Give your pumpkin new life by bringing it to Bradley Museum’s pumpkin parade,” the city says.
You can drop off your pumpkin anytime during the afternoon on Nov. 1 or in the evening where you can wander the Bradley grounds after dark. There will be music, cider, cookies and other family-friendly activities.
