It’s Pumpkin Patch Time Again

Egg Harbor will look a little different this weekend. From the pumpkins, jack-o-lanterns and autumn displays outside businesses, to the carnival rides down at the marina, there will be a lot to see, do and listen to courtesy of the Pumpkin Patch Festival on Saturday and Sunday.
Harbor View Park is the place to be for live music from Mango Brothers, Modern Day Drifters, and Big Mouth and the Power Tool Horns. And get in on the bucket raffle: Egg Harbor businesses have donated all of the items, with the proceeds going right back to the Egg Harbor Business Association (EHBA) to support free concerts, fireworks and more.
The Arts and Crafts Fair will be set up in the Nicolet Bank parking lot, and to alleviate some of the parking issues, the EHBA has partnered with Horseshoe Bay Farms to provide free off-site parking and a free shuttle.
All of the kids’ activities – lawn games, bouncy houses, face painting and more – have been moved to the Kress Pavilion. And look for a children’s magician on Saturday and a children’s musician – Randy Peterson – on Sunday.
With all of that going on, don’t forget to check out the pumpkin and scarecrow displays at businesses around town and vote for your favorite on Facebook.
