Do you love October and all things fall? Is Halloween your favorite holiday? Join the Fall River Public Library for a Pumpkin Carving Contest!

Carve your own pumpkin and compete for the best pumpkin designs. Prizes will be awarded for the best spooky creations.

This Halloween-themed program is open to adults and teens age 12 and up. Come on your own or with a team of friends or family. The library will supply the pumpkin and everything you need to carve and decorate it. You supply the creativity!

Also, another free drive-in will be taking place on Sunday, October 31st at Durfee High School. In lieu of their annual Halloween party, Greater Fall River Re-Creation is teaming up with Mayor Paul Coogan and the City of Fall River to move the event outdoors. A number of Halloween themed activities will begin at 3:30pm until a screening of “Hocus Pocus” begins at 5:30pm. Additional information about this event is expected to be announced at a later date.
