The parade route begins in the Northridge Section of Mohnton and concludes at the Mohnton Park. No rain date is scheduled.

Running since 1956, the parade is always the third Saturday in October. It is a tradition during the Mohnton-Cumru Lions Club Great Pumpkin Parade that the participants shower the children on the parade route with Halloween candy. Viewing the streets of Mohnton, lined with little children dressed in their Halloween costumes with hundreds of bright orange pumpkins at the ready to collect all of that candy, you’ll agree, the only name befitting this parade is the “Great Pumpkin Parade”.

Food vendors line the streets and offer a variety of goodies such as cheese steaks, hamburgers, hotdogs, funnel cakes, french fries, soft drinks, and balloons.    

Public Parking: All Parade Participants and Spectators can use the Public Parking Area on Wyomissing Avenue across the Street from the Exxon in Mohnton & catty-corner to the Mohnton Park where the parade ends.  There is no fee to park and Shuttle Buses will transport participants to the parade staging area. 

****There will be NO public parking in the Northridge Staging Area****
