Friends and family of the community filled most of Carillon Park in Saint-André-d’Argenteuil to celebrate the 2024 iteration of the Pumpkin Festival on October 12.

Multiple vendors lined the main walkway as guests were invited to peruse a large selection of homemade candles, local food items, books by local writers, and other handmade crafts.

This year’s Pumpkin Festival hosted a petting-zoo and a farm animal feeding ground for children of all ages. Also available for children were the pony ride by Ferme Sugar Hill and the ability to take a little ride aboard a fire truck with local Saint-André-d’Argenteuil firefighters.
