The Keene Pumpkin Festival is a beloved annual community event in downtown Keene, New Hampshire, organized by the Let It Shine nonprofit. Held on a single Saturday in October, the festival features thousands of carved jack-o'-lanterns displayed along Main Street, live music, food vendors, and family-friendly activities. The original Keene Pumpkin Festival ran for 24 years before relocating; the current scaled-down version has run continuously since 2017 and remains a popular autumn destination for vendors and visitors.
