About the Event
FREE. Pumpkins are a sacred food in many cultures around the world. Join us celebrate the great pumpkin! We will have seed scooping stations and pumpkin flavored foods. Plus you can drop your pumpkins or take home one to cook up. Pumpkins that are too squishy to eat we will smush for compost to return to our NYC soils. Plus reserve a spot with Wild Stem NYC to make a take home flower bouquet (separate RSVP). All ages welcome. This event is sponsored by CitizensNYC with support from Manhattan Park, RIOC and Foodtown. Rain date Sunday November 8th same location and time- Manhattan Park’s Central Lawn, 30 River Road, Roosevelt Island across from Foodtown.
