Join the Festivities: Pumpkin Flotilla at Bond Park
Fall is in the air, and nothing captures the essence of this magical season quite like the exciting Pumpkin Flotilla at Bond Park in Cary. Scheduled for October 24, 2025, from 4 to 7 p.m., this community event is not just a simple gathering; it’s an experience that brings families and friends together for a delightful afternoon filled with creativity and autumn fun. Best of all, it's free!
How the Flotilla Works
If you want to see a sea of glowing jack-o’-lanterns bobbing on Bond Park Lake, here’s what you need to know! The pumpkins, approximately the size of a soccer ball and weighing around 8 pounds, should be carved at home, as no extra decorations besides the traditional lids are allowed. On the evening of the event, participants will have their pumpkins set sail at twilight, providing a picturesque view as the sun sets over the water, a memory to cherish forever.
A Tradition of Togetherness and Creativity
The Pumpkin Flotilla is emblematic of Cary’s dedication to fostering community spirit. Beyond just the flotilla, the town offers a plethora of Halloween-themed events that cater to all tastes, from haunted houses to pumpkin carving contests. If you're interested in immersing yourself in local culture, checking out these seasonal activities is a must. It’s not only about the event; it's about the conversations sparked over shared laughter and creativity.
Bring the Whole Family
This event is perfect for families looking for a fun and engaging way to celebrate the season. With boat rentals available from 4 to 6:15 p.m., families can make the most out of their day by paddling across the lake while admiring the fanciful display of jack-o’-lanterns. It’s an opportunity to embrace the outdoors and bond with loved ones, making it a quintessential Triangle area experience!
