With the latest outdoor public health guidelines, Mission Creek Regional Park is preparing to host a COVID-safe Spooktacular Pumpkin Walk!
Here's how you can once again take part in this free, family-friendly event:
Prizes will be awarded for the scariest, most original, cutest, strangest, and funniest carved pumpkins. Winners will be notified on Oct. 31. All pumpkins not picked up at the end of the event will be donated to local farmers to feed chickens and farm animals.
For everyone’s safety and to provide smooth traffic flow in the park, starting at 4:30 p.m. there will be one way traffic in the parking lot. All vehicles must enter Mission Creek Regional Park at Leckie Road and leave by the Durnin Rd right turn exit onto Springfield Road. Please keep everyone safe, watch for pedestrians and follow the direction of parking control attendants.
In support of the Central Okanagan Community Food Bank, visitors to the Pumpkin Walk are welcome to drop off a non-perishable food donation. https://cofoodbank.com/
Please remember for everyone's health and safety, COVID-19 protocols like physical distancing will be in place.
