Sedona AZ (September 28, 2015) – Bring a bathing suit and join friends at the best pumpkin patch in Sedona! On Saturday, October 17, from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m., the Sedona Community Pool is home to 300 pumpkins ready for picking right out of the water.

There will be organized games, prizes and goodie bags, as well as, pumpkin decorating and apple bobbing. Everyone who participates takes home one pumpkin. This unique event is fun for all ages. Check out the glow-in-the-dark bat cave and test your bravery by sticking a hand in the spooky mystery cauldrons.

Pumpkin Splash is limited to the first 300 participants. Everyone entering the pool facility, adults and children alike, must pay a $5 entry fee. This entry fee includes a pumpkin to take home. You can pre-purchase tickets beginning Monday, October 5, by calling the City of Sedona Parks and Recreation office at 928-282-7098 or at the 525 Posse Ground Road (near the tennis courts) office. Purchasing tickets in advance is recommended because only a limited number of tickets will be available the day of the event at the door.
