FREEPORT, Maine — Accompanied by thousands of lit jack-o-lanterns, the Camp Sunshine Pumpkin Festival is a sight to behold during the spooky season of October. The fun-filled event kicks off at noon, on Saturday, Oct. 21, with live music, tasty treats, kid's activities, and free pumpkins to take home.
NEWS CENTER Maine's "Stormy" weather vehicle will also make an appearance to spice up the spooky spirit.
Kiddos will have a chance to participate in a costume parade, pumpkin lighting, and much more. The festival concludes at 8 p.m.
