Jonesborough Area Merchants & Service Association (JAMSA) will host their 3rd annual Pumpkin Fest with even more stops and experiences.
The event will be held in downtown Jonesborough on Saturday, September 21 from 1 to 5 P.M.
Attendees will explore downtown Jonesborough to enjoy various pumpkin themed treats, drinks, and experiences. Tickets will be $10 and each attendee will receive a 10-hole punch card. Food samples will be 2 punches each and games and activities will be one punch each.
Treat stops will offer a variety of sweet and savory pumpkin themed food and drinks. Experience stops will provide fall activities such as: a hayride, pumpkin pie eating competition, pet pumpkin party costume competition, face painting for children, fun family games at the great pumpkin adventure park at Jimmy Neil Smith Park, fabulous fall photo ops in front of the courthouse, and more. Attendees will enjoy the mini craft village with local artists and craftsmen showcasing a variety of handmade wares along Main Street. There will also be fall Lego building and crafts at the Jonesborough Public Library starting at 12:30 P.M.
Hayride wristbands can be purchased separately at the hayride tent located at the visitor’s center for an additional cost of $3 per person. The wristband allows the attendee to ride as much as they like, whereas the ticketed punch card can be used for one ride only. Proceeds from the hayride wristband sales will be donated to Paws In Blue.
Additionally, attendees will have the opportunity to experience Jonesborough’s first life-sized pumpkin hut. Standing at 12 feet wide and 6 feet deep, the pumpkin hut will feature hundreds of assorted pumpkins lining the walls of the hut. It will be a great opportunity for people of all ages to take pictures and experience Jonesborough’s first ever life-sized pumpkin hut.
