Registration open for Downtown Dallas’ Pumpkin Fest

Get out those carving knives and find the best pumpkin possible to take part in the 2025 edition of Pumpkin Fest, organized by the Downtown Dallas Main Street Program.

Registration is open for local businesses and organizations to take part in the contest displaying some of the most creative pumpkin decorations across Paulding County for the spooky season soon to arrive.

Participants who submit a pumpkin will have it on display in downtown from October 17 through October 31 as Halloween draws near.

Registration is being handled at mydallasga.com. It is free to participate in the event, but votes for each pumpkin being submitted will cost $1 per vote, which goes toward the BOOST Grant program for businesses that are part of Downtown Dallas Main Street corridor.

Registration closes on October 16. Pumpkins must be dropped off by 5 p.m. on October 17 at the Business Development Office located at 200 Main Street, Dallas.

Pumpkin Fest is being sponsored by Woodstock Furniture and Mattress Outlet.
