PumpkinFest Mesquite

Mesquite Parks and Recreation hosts the family-friendly PumpkinFest on Saturday, Oct. 21. The free, annual event will feature a new hay maze and hay ride this year. PumpkinFest also will include three competitions: a costume contest for kids and adults, a dog costume contest and a pumpkin-pie eating contest.

Enjoy the pumpkin patch, carnival games and bounce houses as well as face painting and performances on the community stage. There will also be an arts and crafts area plus a large trick-or-treating area. Fall-favorite food truck concessions will be available for purchase.
