It’s getting to be that time of year—pumpkins, jack-o’-lanterns, costumes, trick-or-treat, cider. When fall is in the air, it gets to be Halloween time and in downtown Vineland, that means our annual Pumpkin Patch Party on The Ave.
This year, it’ll be on Saturday, October 30, rain or shine, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., at the mini-parks, Landis Avenue and the Boulevard. Now in its sixth year and with supporting sponsorship by Lidl, it’s an event that attracts 100 children and parents for a few hours of good, clean, wholesome holiday fun, games, and fellowship. We’ll have music and fun with DJ Zach, pumpkin painting, candy for children age 14 and under courtesy of G.E. Mechanical, and more.
The event also serves to make the mini-park a destination and a focal point on The Ave. The event will be held in accordance with COVID safety measures. What’s more, you’ll be back home in plenty of time for trick-or-treating later. What could be better than that. So, make the mini-parks your destination on October 30 for fall fun. Sponsorship opportunities are available.
