It is a chance for kids to shine. And with the potential for 5,000 individual creations, it is a huge visual art exhibit! When the jack-o\u2019-lanterns are lit, the glow of thousands of twinkling orange faces is magical. Kids\u2019 smiles, their joy, their sense of wonder as they explore the festival is what inspires the Board of Let it Shine.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pumpkinfestival.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/pf2010_10308992.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-671\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pumpkinfestival.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/pf2010_10308992-300x240.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pumpkinfestival.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/pf2010_10308992-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pumpkinfestival.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/pf2010_10308992-768x614.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pumpkinfestival.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/pf2010_10308992-1024x819.jpg 1024w\" alt=\"pf2010_1030899(2)\" width=\"300\" height=\"240\" \/><\/a>How will the pumpkins be carved?<br \/>\n<\/strong>During the school week of October 21-25, schools who register will receive free pumpkins for students to carve.

If you\u00a0can provide your own candle, three-hour votive candles\u00a0are\u00a0ideal. Thank you!
