Detail for Life is Good Pumpkin Festival : Oct 21 2006 - Oct 21 2006 8:00PM
Boston Common will once again be transformed into a pumpkin patch at the 2006 Life is good Pumpkin Festival to benefit Camp Sunshine, a national retreat for children with life-threatening illnesses and their families. The event is free and open to the public. Produced in partnership with the Boston Parks and Recreation Department, life is good and Camp Sunshine will attempt to beat the world record for most lit jack-o-lanterns in one place. To help break the record, all festival-goers are encouraged to bring a carved pumpkin and a votive candle or a pumpkin to carve on Boston Common. In October 2005, 24,581 jack-o-lanterns lit up the Boston Common as more than 45,000 people joined Life is good and the Boston Parks and Recreation Department, raising $182,000 for Camp Sunshine. The event fell just short of the Guinness World Record of 28,952 jack-o-lanterns, held by the town of Keene, NH. The Life is good Pumpkin Festival will feature activities suitable for all age groups, including jack-o-lantern carving, great food, live bands and entertainment, a costume parade, scarecrow stuffing, face painting, magic shows, the Gargantuan Gourds Guessing Game, and much more. - Erica R, 10/13/2006
