Thanks to this awesome group for facilitating the pumpkin painting! Loved having this activity for creativity to flourish at the festival!

🎃🎨 Little Pumpkins. Big Creativity.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who braved the rain and joined us at the Artists Art Center for Paint-A-Pumpkin during today's Spring Hope Pumpkin Festival! We hope your young artists had as much fun creating their pumpkin masterpieces as we had welcoming them.

We're excited to bring even more creative experiences to our community, with new opportunities for families and young minds to learn, explore, and discover the joy of art.

Special Thanks to Our Local Artists Designs by Doughty and for sharing their time and talents. We believe that when we nurture creativity today, we inspire the thinkers, innovators, and artists of tomorrow! 🧡

Learn. Exhibit. Inspire.

The 53rd Annual Spring Hope National Pumpkin Festival has officially come to a close, and what an incredible festival it was!

Even though Mother Nature decided to join us with some much-needed rain and brought Saturday’s festivities to an earlier end than we had planned, we couldn’t be happier with how this year’s festival turned out. Seeing Downtown Spring Hope filled with families, friends, music, food, vendors, laughter, and community spirit made all the hard work worthwhile.

A festival like this simply would not be possible without the incredible people and organizations who stand behind it.

To all of our sponsors — THANK YOU! Your generosity and support helped make the 53rd Annual Spring Hope National Pumpkin Festival possible.

We also want to extend a very special thank you to the Nash County Tourism Development Authority for once again trusting in our festival and supporting our efforts to bring visitors, excitement, and community together in Spring Hope.

Thank you to the Nash Arts Council for serving as our fiscal sponsor and for being an important partner in making this year’s festival possible.

And, of course, thank you to the residents, businesses, volunteers, organizations, and supporters of Spring Hope and our surrounding communities. Whether you volunteered your time, welcomed visitors into your business, participated in an event, shared our posts, brought your family downtown, or simply cheered us on — you were part of making this festival a success.

As another Pumpkin Festival comes and goes, our team is going to enjoy a little well-earned rest. But it won’t be long before the conversations begin, ideas start flowing, and planning gets underway for next year!

In the meantime, we would love to hear from you! Tell us what you enjoyed, share your feedback, and most importantly, send us your festival photos or tag us in your posts. We’d love to see the festival through your eyes and share some of your favorite memories.

Thank you for celebrating 53 years of the Spring Hope National Pumpkin Festival with us.

We’ll see you next year, Spring Hope!
