• Pumpkin Carving Competition: Show off your carving skills! Each family can receive one pumpkin (while supplies last) to carve on-site. Top pumpkins will be recognized with a reward.
• African Drumming: Engage in a vibrant drumming session with an African drummer who brings 60 drums for audience participation.
• Indigenous Storytelling: Experience captivating stories from an Indigenous storyteller.
• Face Painting: Two talented face painters will be available to transform faces into magical designs
