Hundreds Of Displays Turn Downtown Kentville Into Pumpkin People Wonderland

More than three hundred handcrafted pumpkin figures now line streets, storefronts, and parks throughout downtown Kentville. The annual Pumpkin People Festival runs across October, attracting autumn tourists and families to Kings County.

Local businesses partnered with community volunteers to assemble displays depicting historical scenes, pop culture characters, and town heritage. Merchants report strong foot traffic in town restaurants and retail shops, making the festival an economic driver for the Valley throughout the harvest season.
