The annual Pumpkin Parade is back for another exciting night of jack-o-lantern joy and the spirit of the spook! Each year after the sun sets on November 1, kids converge in Phin Park to see The Pocket’s Jack-o-Lanterns shine one last time. It’s a fun way for neighbours to celebrate an end to Halloween together and a simple way for communities to dispose of their pumpkins, with the support of the City of Toronto and our local councilor.
Come on out and celebrate with your neighbours. The PCA will be handing out hot chocolate, snacks and blaring some tunes!
