Halloween fiends, have you already planned your jack-o’-lantern design to the last detail? Your perfect canvas awaits at the 16th annual Pumpkin Festival. Along with selecting standout squash, revelers at this fall fête enjoy cider pressing, horse-drawn wagon rides, and live music by Rose Hip Jam and the Wyld Nightz Band. Folks fuel up on slices from the Northeast Organic Farming Association of Vermont’s wood-fired pizza oven, mac and cheese from Griddle & Groovy, and other farm-fresh fare. Have kiddos in tow? Raconteurs Tim Jennings and Leanne Ponder entertain families with traditional folktales.
