Iron Works Church is working together with more than a dozen local sponsors to bring the first ever Phoenixville Pumpkin Fest to life right here in Reeves Park on October 29th from 2pm to 7pm.

The Pumpkin Fest features:
Pumpkin Painting (great for children!)
A LARGE Pumpkin Moon Bounce
A Pumpkin Carving Demonstration Table Free pumpkin carving kits (while supplies last)
Face painting
Games, prizes, and a free raffle

Most importantly; however, the focal point of the Pumpkin Fest is

the timed Pumpkin Carving Contest and
the Pumpkin Derby.

These two events feature some great prizes from local Phoenixville businesses.

For the pumpkin carving contest, all of the judging will be done by representatives from the local businesses who are supplying the prizes.
