PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The annual Pumpkin Carving Spooktacular is back at the Berkshire Athenaeum, Pittsfield's Public Library, on Saturday, Oct. 25, 2025, from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

 

Youth of all ages are invited to the Library, where there will be free pumpkins available along with all the tools and decorations.

 

There will be a craft station, snacks, and a scavenger hunt. Youth and families are encouraged to wear costumes. 

 

Note, the very last pumpkin carving session will begin at 12:30 p.m.

 

"We look forward to the Pumpkin Carving Spooktacular every year as a way to bring families together and celebrate the season," said Anna Downing, senior technician in the Youth Services Department. "It's a fantastic, free event where families work together and let their creativity shine. We take care of the mess and they leave with a perfect jack-o'-lantern for their doorstep."

 

The Pumpkin Carving Spooktacular is made possible through contributions of Friends of the Berkshire Athenaeum.
