Naperville Park District Will Not Host Annual Pumpkin Smash in 2025

Thursday, October 30, 2025

The Naperville Park District’s annual Pumpkin Smash event, which typically takes place the second Saturday after Halloween, will not be held in 2025 due to construction at the Ron Ory Community Garden Plots. The Pumpkin Smash event is expected to return in 2026. For alternative locations to compost your pumpkins this year, please visit www.scarce.org/pumpkins.
