Doylestown's Pumpkinfest is Saturday

A favorite local event that features giant carved pumpkins at a historic Doylestown site is just days away.

Pumpkinfest, which features area artists who carve out enormous pumpkins into glowing decorations that illuminate the archways of Moravian Tile Works, will be held Saturday.

The creations, carved in pumpkins ranging from 100 to 300 pounds, take artists as long as six hours to create. In addition to the gallery of huge pumpkins, there will be a food truck pavilion, live music, kids activities, a screening of ”Frankenweenie.”

The grounds open to the public at 2 p.m. with a discounted early bird admission of $10 per carload until 4 pm. Beginning at 4 p.m., the cost per carload goes up to $20.

The event, hosted by CB Cares Educational Foundation in partnership with the Bucks County Department of Parks and Recreation, will support the organization’s drug and alcohol prevention efforts. The event coincides with National Substance Abuse Prevention Month, which is October.
