Pumpkin Flotilla at Bond Park - Town of Cary, NC | What’s happening in the Research Triangle

Pumpkin Flotilla at Bond Park - Town of Cary, NC

Each October, pumpkins set sail across the Bond Park Lake at twilight accompanied by local music, snacks, and Halloween activities! Find a spot along the edge of the lake and watch as the jack-o’-lanterns float by in Cary's only pumpkin flotilla! While we wait for the sun to set there will be live music, food trucks, and boats available for rent.

Second Lighting

Not able to attend the main event or want to see the pumpkins again? The pumpkins are typically left floating on the lake and relit the next night. Viewing will be from the waterfront at Bond Park Boathouse. This is a stationary display.

Please note: Pumpkins in our flotilla cannot be returned. Thank you for your contribution to our event!
