Annual Pumpkin Walk - October 31st

This family event is a great way to celebrate the spirit of Community as many volunteers and local organizations work together to provide a safe and fun environment on Halloween Night. 

Beginning at 5:00 pm, join us at Riverside Campground to view over 350 lit jack-o-lanterns, showcasing the talents of our students and community members who have carved the pumpkins.   As you meet many old and new friends be sure to visit our volunteers handing out candy along the way, and stop for a cup of hot chocolate at the end of the route.

We cap off the evening with an aaahhh-some display of fireworks--the only one you'll see in Vanderhoof.   At 8:00 pm be sure to gather with the other 3000 people to view the spectacular display reflected in the waters of the Nechako River.

This event is sponsored by businesses and the community.  If you are interested to learn how you can help, please call the Vanderhoof Chamber of Commerce at (250) 567-2124 for more details.
