National Pumpkin Day Oct. 26, 2025

National Pumpkin Day

Nothing says autumn like spotting a field full of pumpkins waiting to be picked. In Canada, pumpkin patches across Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia open their gates to families for hayrides, corn mazes and of course, picking the perfect gourd. These pumpkins roll their way into pies, porches, lattes and parades, but today they get the spotlight: it"s National Pumpkin Day.
