Carved Pumpkins

Hundreds of residents and visitors came out to Humboldt Park over the Night Time Trick or Treating weekend to view the Pumpkin Pavilion Halloween display. Hundreds of carved pumpkins delighted young and old alike, while Testa Rosa and John the Savage rocked the crowd. Kids were kept busy indoors with plenty of kids activities that earned them candy and toys.

Many thanks to the sponsors of this great event: Rush Mor Records, Bird Ladder, Swan’s Farm, Glen Radford, Studio Q, Milwaukee County Parks, Club Garibaldi, Bella’s Fat Cat, Babe’s Ice Cream, and all of our volunteers and donors.
