The Great Pumpkin Festival is in its 5th year because of the support of people like you!
You’ve donated, sponsored, attended, volunteered, publicized…and the list goes on!
As a committee, our appreciation runs deep. It takes the effort of a lot of good people to pull off a successful event year after year and we are fortunate to have such a community.
We’re counting on your support again this year! There are plenty of ways for you to help us help those who help you! (Nice loop of paying it forward going around, wouldn’t you say?!)
Volunteer - Attend - Publicize – Donate
It all makes a difference!
Volunteer
We count on the selfless volunteers who help make light of the countless duties required at each festival. If you or someone you know is looking for community service hours, whether it be for Scouts, Religious Education or just a giving heart, please contact us via the Contact Page. Someone will get back to you promptly–with much appreciation!
Publicize
We’re expanding our reach this year to neighboring towns and communities. If you live or work in Burrillville, Woonsocket, Cumberland, Smithfield, Uxbridge or Blackstone, please consider printing out a flyer and displaying it at your workplace. And if you are friendly with your local hair salon, youth association, dance studio or martial arts academy, perhaps you could ask permission to hang a flyer there as well. Together we can make this the best Great Pumpkin Festival yet!
Attend
Your attendance is at the heart of the event. We do this for you! Bring your family, bring your friends, bring your appetite and most of all bring your festive attitude! You can purchase buttons in advance for half price at more than a dozen locations in advance or pay the full $2 at the gate.
Donate
Can’t make it but would like to pitch in? We’re accepting donations of all sizes and would be happy to place you on our list of Friends of the Great Pumpkin Festival to be posted on this website!
