1. Head to the south shore for the the Mahone Bay Scarecrow Festival and Candlelit Pumpkin Path! Get the kids dressed up in costumes and check out the amazing scarecrows all through town before it gets dark.

Then get ready to experience the magic of wandering through a path of hundreds of pumpkins, beautifully carved and lit!

2. It’s Pumpkin People at the J.D Shatford Memorial Library! Get your friends or family to help you stuff a pumpkin person on the library’s lawn and enjoy pumpkin crafts and games!
