23rd Annual Statesville PumpkinFest

Statesville PumpkinFest is one of North Carolina’s premier fall festivals, bringing thousands of visitors to Downtown Statesville each year for a day of family-friendly fun, entertainment, and autumn traditions. 

Held annually in November, PumpkinFest features giant pumpkins, live music, artisan vendors, delicious food, kids’ activities, and exciting attractions throughout the historic downtown district. This beloved community celebration showcases the charm of Downtown Statesville while creating unforgettable memories for residents and visitors alike.

VOLUNTEER

PumpkinFest is able to pull together one of the region's largest fall festivals, in large part, because of our volunteers. It just isn't possible without you, our dedicated volunteers. We love you all and hope you'll join us again at this year's festival.

We welcome individuals, families, community groups, religious groups, school groups and office teams. You can bring your group and have fun while giving back to the community!

Volunteers under age 18 must be accompanied by an adult. Youth groups are welcome with proper adult supervision and an adult to student ratio of 1 adult for every 4 youth.

Due to the nature of volunteer duties and size of the festival, volunteer youth should not be under the age of 12.
