Pumpkin Festival 2018

The magic was clearly back in downtown Keene as evidenced by the thousands of smiles and happy faces that wandered throughout downtown.

The Let It Shine team would like to express our sincere thanks and appreciation for the help of everyone in Keene and the surrounding communities for making the Keene Pumpkin Festival a resounding success on October 28. The magic was clearly back in downtown Keene as evidenced by the thousands of smiles and happy faces that wandered throughout downtown.

Thank you to our sponsors, entertainers, school and city staff who make the day possible. A giant thank you to our volunteers: Keene State students and Keene High School Interact students were amazing; we couldn’t be prouder! Area business participants and volunteers made the day extra special. Individuals from pumpkin pickers through pumpkin cleanup, thank you for the generosity of your time, gifts and energy. Keene Pumpkin Festival in the HeART of Downtown Keene couldn’t have happened without you! Thank you Mother Nature for providing a beautiful fall day! Thank you to the Keene City Council for voting to move forward with the festival. And the biggest thank you goes to all the area students who carved and shared their masterpieces with the greater community!

Please consider offering your talents and energy as we move into another planning season for 2019.
