The 2020 Houston Pumpkin Festival is cancelled but come to our Food Truck Event on Saturday October 10th, 11AM to 7PM at the Fire Station 14 W. McNutt St. Houston, PA 15342 and check out the virtual vendor show October 5th-18th.

We are sad to announce that the 2020 Houston Pumpkin Festival is cancelled.  We waited as long as possible with hopes the situation may change, however, during these unprecedented times we feel it is the best decision.  The health and safety of our community, vendors, and volunteers is most important to us.  The Houston Pumpkin Festival is sponsored by the Houston Volunteer Fire Department and the festival is the primary annual fundraiser for the department making this a difficult decision.
Picture
The Pumpkin Festival Committee wants you to know we will be back!  We look forward to a future where we can safely enjoy great community traditions and make memories.  Stay tuned for information on the 2021 festival. 

On Saturday October 10th, 2020 we will be holding a food truck event at the fire station.  Please stop by the station at 14 W. McNutt St. Houston, PA 15342 anytime between 11AM and 7PM.  Local parking will be available. In additional to food trucks there will be a basket raffle as well as sales of pumpkins, T-shirts, and cornstalks. If you or your business would be interested in donating items or a basket please contact our festival committee at 724-745-6329. 

We will also be holding a virtual vendor show from October 5th to October 18th with many vendors who are graciously donating a portion of their sales to the fire department.  Please check back for more information in the days to come. Again, we thank you for all your years of participation and are looking forward to the 2021 festival season!
