The Sycamore Pumpkin Festival

 

"Pumpkin Adventures" submitted by Savanna Dean is the theme for 2013.

The 2013 Pumpkin Festival will be held October 23rd through the 27th.

2013 is the 52nd Annual Sycamore Pumpkin Festival downtown.   What started out as an idea by Wally Thurow in 1956 to offer something creative for the students of Sycamore, has grown from a neighborhood display on his front yard into the towns biggest city wide event beginning on Wednesday witht the Opening Ceremony and cake cutting.  The festival begins with over 1000 entries in the Lions Decorated Pumpkin Display, 2 carnivals, 2 large indoor craft shows, many non-profit vendors, and culminating with an hour and a half long parade on Sunday.
