Keene NH Real Estate Blog: Keene Pumpkin Fest 2011 is coming up this weekend, Saturday October 22, 2011!

This weekend is the Keene Pumpkin Festival!!! Here is a run-down of the events, I hope everyone can make it!

Pumpkin Festival Children’s Costume Parade 12:30pm
Location: West Street to Main Street
Children (of all ages!) decked out in Halloween costumes parade down West Street and continue down the Main Street lined with delighted spectators.

Pumpkin Bowling 2pm
Location: West Street, after the parade clears the area
Real bowling pins, actual scorekeeping, the only difference is, instead of bowling balls, we'll be bowling with pumpkins--the extra hard, cooking pumpkins. We're introducing the sport of pumpkin bowling and offering it right in the middle of one of New Hampshire's busiest streets.

Food Court Noon-8:15pm
Location: Commercial Street Lot next to Margarita's
Offering a wide assortment of healthy and fair foods, hosted by local non-profit organizations, the 2011 Food Court is sure to be the delight of the festival. Looking for a pulled pork sandwich, fried pickle or fried dough? Step right up. Salads, wraps, stews and turnovers as well as pumpkin-inspired treats are also among the menu offerings. Tables for quick-picnics will be right nearby with necessary facilities conveniently located around the corner.

Craft Fair Noon-8:15pm
Location: Lot next to Lindy's Diner
Three dozen artisans offering crafts from paintings to fudge with many returning favorites

Two Spectacular Pumpkin Towers
One tower of glowing orange orbs will dazzle diners, located on Gilbo Ave between the Food Court and the Craft Fair, viewable from the West Street bowling area too. Our signature tower on Central Square is still the centerpiece of Keene's Pumpkin Festival. The street will be lined with pumpkins and pumpkin spectators, for the smoothest strolling and best viewing ever, unfettered by vendor booths and queues. Families and seniors are very welcome and handicap parking in excellent locations makes access easy. Live musical entertainment will add to the atmosphere on stage near the city square and at other selected locations but the sights will carry the day!

The 2011 Keene Pumpkin Festival runs from Noon-8:30pm (precisely) on Saturday, October 22.

The night before, Friday, October 21, you will find one of the most beautiful, welcoming downtowns in New England featuring fine dining establishments, a lavishly restored theatre, wonderful shops and boutiques—the very same enchanting scene you will find every other Friday in Keene, NH, accented with a sprinkling of business and school children's pumpkins.
