A pumpkin parade is when people bring their carved pumpkins and place lights inside for everyone to enjoy. If you have a carved creation, be sure to bring it so that you can show off your artistic skills. But if you don't have a pumpkin, don't worry! The pumpkin parades are free to attend and pumpkins are not necessary to join in on the fun. 

This annual event happens across the city every year on November 1st. There are locations in Downtown Toronto, North York, Scarborough, Etobicoke, and more. Here’s a list of some of the easiest locations to access through public transportation:

• Withrow Park (725 Logan Ave, Toronto, ON M4K 3B9)
• Felstead Avenue Playground (60 Felstead Ave, Toronto, ON M4J 1G2)
