Pumpkin Festival Sukkot Gathering
Join friends from KAMII and meet new ones to celebrate Sukkot at Johnson's Farm Produce's Pumpkin Festival.
The Pumpkin Festival is filled with fun farm activities: Pick your own pumpkins, go through a corn maze, bounce on the jump pillow, climb the straw mountain, and more!
We will gather at 10:30 where Rabbi Kirzane will lead a brief Sukkot celebration.
Small groups will disperse to explore the activities, and we'll meet up at the food hut for lunch at noon. (Food is available to purchase or bring a picnic lunch.) After lunch, feel free to stay and have more fun or head home.
General admission is $15, and the $25 all-access pass provides access to the train and produce cannon.
Families will purchase their own tickets upon arrival. For concerns about cost, please reach out to Rabbi Kirzane (rabbikirzane@kamii.org).
If you need a ride or can offer a ride, please RSVP by October 9; otherwise please RSVP by October 15.
