Pumpkinfest on Court Street Returns to Brooklyn
Pumpkinfest on Court Street is back! This family friendly event has become an annual tradition where families can enjoy a day out in their community and celebrate all things autumn.
Located on 4th place between Court and Clinton Streets in Brooklyn, Pumpkinfest will feature thousands of pumpkins, a pumpkin decorating contest, games, activities, clowns, live music, seasonal food, raffles and much, much more!
The popular annual event was started by Mazzone Ace Hardware in 2005 to create a fun fall celebration for their community. It started out small with just a few tables, and has since grown in size and scope with activities taking over the entire street.
In 2013, The Mazzone Family partnered with the Children’s Miracle Network and its local affiliate, the Cohen Children’s Medical Center, to help provide children with life-saving medical help. After a two-year hiatus due to covid, Pumpkinfest was revived in October 2022 and raised over $20, 000 for the Cohen Children’s Medical Center, doubling their fundraising from years past!
“To be back after two years felt amazing – and the smiles that we saw that day make all the effort we put into this all worthwhile! “ event organizer and Ace Hardware General Manager Elizabeth Civiletti said.
Mazzone’s goal is to surpass last year’s efforts and make this year’s Pumpkinfest the best yet.
“We have been fortunate to be joined by some amazing partners like Ace Hardware, Benjamin Moore, Big Green Egg, Milwaukee Tool Company and the Cohen Children’s Medical Center, as well as many other local merchants, which has allowed us to increase our fundraising efforts,” Civiletti continued.
In addition to having a great time, families and sponsors alike will know their efforts have contributed to a great cause. The Children’s Miracle Network is a non-profit that helps more than 10 million children each year. 100% of donations go to local hospitals to fund critical life-saving treatments and healthcare services, pediatric medical equipment, and emotional support for families during difficult hospital stays, as well as financial assistance for families in need.
Pumpkinfest will run from 10 am to 4 pm on October 7th.
More information is available by calling (718) 624-8494.
Mazzone Ace Hardware is a third-generation family-owned and operated local business that has been serving the Brooklyn community for more than 72 years.
