New Plans Released For The Great Pumpkin Festival

This year's Whitefish Bay's favorite fall tradition, The Great Pumpkin Festival, will look a whole lot different than past years.

The Whitefish Bay Civic Foundation's annual autumn event will be held between October 28 and 31 at the Old School House Park on N. Marlborough.

This year participants will take home a pumpkin from the drive-up location on North Idlewild Avenue. After taking the pumpkin home to carve, you're asked to bring it back to be displayed.

Pick-up and drop-off will be available between 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. daily.

All pumpkins will be lit 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. nightly.

Residents are welcomed to walk through the park and enjoy the pumpkins and decorations.

Event-goers are asked to wear a mask and keep socially distant from others.

To provide a safe event for all, this year there will be no carving of pumpkins on-site, no music, and no food and beverages.
