The Spalding Pumpkin Festival
 |
The Spalding pumpkin festival began in October 2002, and has taken place every year since. It was conceived as a way to increase awareness of the town of Spalding and the pumpkin industry in general. The festival has grown each year, and includes a farmers' market during the day, and entertainment in the evening before a parade of carved pumpkins. The day is rounded off with a spectacular fireworks display in the town centre. The 2009 festival was on Friday 9th October. |
David Bowman Ltd provides thousands of pumpkins for the festival, many of which are carved by pupils at local schools. The event has been featured on television and radio, and has also led to Spalding winning a market town award.
