Pumpkin Carving Happy Hour at Storey Park
If you’re wondering whether the caveat here is that you’ll have to pick up your own pumpkin-carving kit on the way, fear not—free carving tools are on hand for the first 300 visitors. If pumpkins aren’t your thing, look for face painting, a candy scavenger hunt, live music, and, for the grown ups, alcoholic beverages. Reserve your pumpkin here. 4 to 7 PM.
