Falling for Big Pumpkin Fest
Big Pumpkin Fest is a local event for families to enjoy food, games, and other Fall activities in the spirit of Halloween. The Freedom Center Church in Fenton, Michigan hosts the event every year. The event is free for everyone to attend.
Walking into the event, you can find families and volunteers all dressed up in a variety of different costumes. One of the activities during Big Pumpkin Fest is the costume contest open for kids of all ages.
The event is largely organized by the Freedom Center Church Children’s Ministry and is funded by donations made to the Children’s Ministry. There were also sponsors involved in putting together this event including Dr.Wax’s Orthodontics located in Fenton.
Throughout the night were several activities for families to enjoy including pumpkin decorating, shooting apple cannons, bounce houses, and festive mini-games. Families can also enjoy hay rides around the perimeter of the church.
Different than previous years, Big Pumpkin Fest also had a petting zoo with kangaroos and a parrot open for the public to enjoy during the first half of the night.
