The current listing gives a family-event frame

Salem’s official calendar lists the 26th annual PumpkinFest on Friday, October 30, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Salem Farmers Market. The city describes it as a family event.

Readers should use the organizer’s current detail for activities, entry conditions and any age-specific guidance rather than assume a past year’s program repeats.

Plan access and supervision

Confirm parking, accessible routes, restrooms, weather arrangements and any costume or bag rules before leaving home. Adults should keep children’s contact and health details private and supervise according to the actual environment.

Gretna Junction does not register families, collect child profiles or guarantee capacity, food or a particular activity.
