On Saturday, October 25th, the tradition of Pumpkinfest continues amidst the illuminated archways of the Moravian Tile Works in historical Doylestown and will showcase area artists who carve out enormous 100- 300 lb pumpkin squash into glowing works which take the artists up to six hours to sculpt, carve, and create. This drug and alcohol free countywide event attracts people from all regions to witness the magic and transformation of these giant gourds into illuminated spectacles.

CB Cares Educational Foundation will host Pumpkinfest 2014 in partnership with the Bucks County Department of Parks and Recreation. October is National Substance Abuse Prevention Month and October 23rd – 31st is Red Ribbon Week for school-age children in our community. Both of these national initiatives emphasize the importance of avoiding drug and alcohol use and correlate with Pumpkinfest with good reason and season. The proceeds from the event will allow CB Cares to continue their drug and alcohol prevention messages, initiatives and programs in the community.
