Dr. Pepper Park at the Bridges will present “The Great Pumpkin Smash” on Saturday, Oct. 7 from 11:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. at Dr. Pepper Park.
“The Great Pumpkin Smash was created to celebrate and enjoy fall food, pumpkin brews, live music and of course, the smashing of the great pumpkin!” states Waynette Anderson, President/Owner of Dr. Pepper Park at the Bridges. “New features this year include The Northwest TrueValue Kids Smash Zone & kid’s area! (while pumpkin supplies last)”, says Anderson. “So many people are excited about the pumpkin carving contest, seasonal beer selection, music performances and the festival in general! We’ve sold tickets on line to people as far away as Virginia Beach! The pumpkin carving contest proceeds benefit the Patrick Henry Band Boosters.”
There are other pumpkin festivals in and around Roanoke…but nothing focusing on pumpkin foods and beers.
Additional information and special announcements are on the event Facebook page The Great Pumpkin Smash.
Also featured will be Live Music by Radio Rehab, Zac Price & Five Dollar Shake plus food and contests.
Online ticket sale access at DrPepperPark.com. Tickets at $5.00 per (kids 12 and under free) will also be available onsite Saturday, Oct. 7 at the gates beginning at 10:45 a.m. (Participants bringing a carved pumpkin for the contest will receive Free admission for themselves).
