The Rotary Club of Grimsby, along with the Town of Grimsby, once again gave Halloween Pumpkins another night to shine on.
As dusk settled over Coronation Park on November 1, the Rotary Club and Town of Grimsby welcomed families to the enchanting Grimsby Glows Pumpkin Parade. From early morning, volunteers of all ages—Rotarians, Town employees, Chamber of Commerce members, Lions Club volunteers, and students—worked side by side to prepare for the festivities.
When the sun set, hundreds of carved Jack-o'-lanterns glowed magically, illuminating the park for one more night. Local musician Josh Coulter had the crowd singing along to favourite pop, rock, and country tunes. Madame Erica captivated guests with fortune-telling and tarot readings. Children enjoyed creative art projects and watched a balloon artist twist colourful shapes into playful animals.
Ribbons were awarded for the best-carved pumpkins and the most creatively dressed dogs, though the dogs seemed more interested in the box of treats than the ribbons. At the end of the pumpkin-lit path, families gathered for more treats and steaming hot chocolate.
After three hours of crowded excitement, the pumpkin lights faded, and volunteers quickly restored the park to its peaceful November darkness. Halloween was over for another year, but the pumpkins are sure to glow again next November, bringing the community together once more.
