BARRYVILLE, NY — Barryville’s annual autumn celebration, Pumpkin Fest, will return on Saturday, October 7 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. with arts and crafts, live music, food, family fun and, of course, pumpkins. It will be held behind the Carriage House, 3351 Rte. 97. The entrance is next to the Barryville/Shohola Bridge.

A highlight will be a plethora of contests: competitors will vie for awards in a pumpkin recipe bake-off, pumpkin carving and decorating, scarecrow design and pie eating. There are costume contests, too, not just kids but for adults and pets as well. Visit barryvilleny.com/pumpkinfest.
