The annual Pumpkin Festival held Saturday at Kidspace was one of the most successful in the organization’s history. Held closer to Halloween than ever before, about 20,000 attendees descended upon the festival to enjoy live music, games, Pasadena-area food vendors, costume contests and an impressive pumpkin patch. The event was organized by Circle of Friends President Claire Marco and festival co-chairs Eryn Kalavsky and Brandi Mathisen.
