HARVEST PUMPKIN
​FESTIVAL

Check out this video by Rhythm Productions


​HARVEST PUMPKIN FESTIVAL WEEKEND

STAY TUNED FOR 2020 EVENT DETAILS

 The Harvest Pumpkin Festival was created in 2000 to bring the community together in a season that is as enjoyable to us as the summer months and now offers an opportunity for visitors to see that we are more than sun and summer.

Armstrong Spallumcheen has deep roots in agriculture and community - and that is what this festival celebrates.  It is a great place to bring your family and friends for fun and there is something for everyone at this event. The event has grown to showcase not only the key event held Thanksgiving Weekend, but activities and events throughout the month of October.
