Pumpkin Smash

Give your Halloween pumpkins one last hurrah at the City of Kamloops Pumpkin Smash, a free, family-friendly event filled with games, activities, and plenty of pumpkin-smashing fun!

Bring your jack-o’-lanterns and get ready to smash, roll, toss, and stomp your pumpkins through a variety of interactive games. Enjoy face painting, a photo booth, educational displays, food trucks, and pumpkin passports for a chance to win prizes. Don't miss the exciting pumpkin drops, where pumpkins are dropped from a Parks truck bucket lift and a Kamloops Fire Rescue ladder truck.

Kids are encouraged to wear their Halloween costumes one more time. Pumpkins will be available for those who don't have their own, while supplies last. All pumpkins collected during the event will be composted by the City of Kamloops.

Visitors can also stop by the nearby Flexible Plastics Recycling Pop-Up in the disc golf parking lot to recycle leftover Halloween candy wrappers and other flexible plastics. Participants who drop off flexible plastics will receive a free reusable pink tote bag.

Admission is free, and all ages are welcome!
