PumpkinFest

Pumpkinfest is back in Downtown Carleton Place October 2–4, 2026, with a weekend packed with fall fun for the whole family! Friday night, we’re getting our country groove on at the MEWS with Man! I Feel Like Shania!, cloggers, line dancing and a lively Vendor Night Market. Saturday and Sunday, don’t miss the Family Fun Zone at Carleton Junction, packed with an inflatable obstacle course, petting zoo, free face painting and balloon twisting, pumpkin-themed crafts and Circus Delights Magic Shows. Hop aboard the Double Decker Hop-On Hop-Off Bus on Saturday and explore downtown from a whole new perspective, then wrap up the weekend Sunday with the People & Pets Halloween Parade and a free outdoor showing of Toy Story 5. There’s something happening all weekend long — come play, explore and celebrate Pumpkinfest in Downtown Carleton Place!
