Pumpkin People in the Park
Outrageous Creativity on Display
Two Locations
Where the Pumpkins Live
Kate Gould Park and Main Street's bandstand, October 12-31
Kate Gould Park
Pumpkin People scatter across the green, a harvest celebration that turns the park into an open-air gallery of local creativity.
Main Street Bandstand
The heart of Chatham's display, where the most ambitious creations command the historic bandstand and draw crowds all month long.
Made by Hand
Local businesses, organizations, and neighbors fashion each character—no two alike, each one a small act of community pride.
Why Chatham Owns October
Travel & Leisure Magazine ranked Chatham as the 4th best town in America for Halloween, crediting the Chatham Chamber of Commerce and Merchants' Association's Oktoberfest and Pumpkin People in the Park. From October 12–31, Kate Gould Park and the bandstand on Main Street transform into a gallery of outrageous pumpkin displays, each one fashioned by local businesses, organizations, and residents. It's the kind of autumn tradition that turns a village into a destination.
