Yesterday afternoon, Nov. 1, 2024, the Oakville Museum hosted their annual Pumpkin Parade to display some of Oakville’s best pumpkin carvings and provide fun games for families.
The Museum instructed families to bring their carved pumpkins to their central location, near Lakeshore Road and Navy Street in downtown Oakville.
This fun parade takes place annually on Nov. 1 each year, and provides Oakville families a better way to dispose of their pumpkins after Halloween night.
Costumes are encouraged for kids that are coming out to the parade as it will give them all one last chance to wear them.
Once families have dropped off their pumpkins, they can head inside the museum for some fun activities. In the first room you enter, you get brought to an arts and crafts table where families can colour and make Halloween crafts together.
In the second room is where the real fun begins - that's where featured story time for all the young children and they clapped and sang together and had so much Halloween fun.
The initiative began three years ago by Museum director Carolyn Cross and it has become an incredible place for people of all walks of life to come together and enjoy each others company and have fun with one another.
