On October 29th, 1-3:30 PM - Join us for a smashing good time!

Enjoy live music, treats, hands on activities and of course smashing pumpkins at this FREE, all ages Halloween event! Costumes encouraged!

Head up to the rooftop terrace where you can smash your pumpkin onto the drop zone below. While you wait, warm up with a hot chocolate or pumpkin spice latte and some sweet treats at our pumpkin smash lounge. Here you will enjoy the view and the toasty vibes with our patio heat lamps.

When you’ve had your turn on the terrace –don’t head home just yet! Check out live music by Full Circle, axe throwing with Six One Six Entertainment, enjoy some Gypsy Girl by the Bourbon Brothers wood-fired pizza, face painting with Crazy Paints by Katie, meet Sally and the Pumpkin King himself, Jack Skellington, take a photo at the Uptown Trunk Halloween photobooth and of course watch the pumpkins drop!

Stay tuned to our social media channels, the pumpkins may still have a little growing to do and so too may our event.

• This event is outside and as such is weather dependent.

• The pumpkins at this event are locally sourced. Many would otherwise be unharvested for market or come from a failed crop, impacted by frost. None of the pumpkins smashed at this event will be painted, so they can be used for livestock feed. Thank you to the Medicine Hat 4-H Beef Club for collecting and taking the pumpkin smash for their livestock.

• Pumpkin supply is limited (520). First come first serve. Participants are also invited to bring their own cut pumpkins from home. Pumpkins must not contain any additions (ex: paint, glitter, pins, or any glued on craft material, etc.). Only medium to small sized pumpkins brought from home may be dropped and must be released from the designated drop area, under supervision of program facilitators.
