Description

This signature seasonal gathering transforms the lawn into a sprawling patch where visitors select from thousands of pumpkins. The experience balances active participation with quiet corners; you can join in on pumpkin painting or settle into reading nooks curated by the Brooklyn Book Bodega. The atmosphere is shaped by live folk music performances throughout the day, organized in collaboration with Porch Stomp. While the patch is the centerpiece, the event also hosts trick-or-treating and ghost tours across the grounds. Note that the event operates with a limit of one pumpkin per person, and attendees are encouraged to arrive equipped with reusable bags to carry their haul.
