The Orting Pumpkin Fest is primarily a food festival featuring items on the menu with pumpkin as a main ingredient. A few examples are: pumpkin sloppy joe burgers and chili dogs, pumpkin milkshakes, pumpkin pie, brownies and cider, pumpkin spice cotton candy, pumpkin fudge, pumpkin smoothies, caramel apples, elephant ears with pumpkin butter, pumpkin pizza, pumpkin ice cream, pumpkin cheese cake, cream cheese pumpkin rolls, kettle corn, and more. Other good food will also be available too.
It is not all going to pumpkin flavored. Along with the great food is free entertainment on the Gazebo Stage and the Car Show Stage. A pumpkin pyramid will be located in the North Park, next to the car show.
