Pumpkins, costumes, candy, crafts, and all things cozy are headed to Central Market York on Saturday, October 24, 2026, for Pumpkinfest. The fall celebration runs from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM, and the whole family is invited to bring the little ghosts, goblins, and pumpkins for a spooktacular day. The Market will be filled with festive activities, seasonal treats, and plenty of pumpkin-inspired surprises.
What’s Brewing
