20th Annual Great Pumpkin Giveaway Returns to Richfield’s Fairwood Park

RICHFIELD, MN — One of Richfield’s most cherished fall traditions is making its return for a milestone year. The Great Pumpkin Giveaway will celebrate its 20th anniversary on Saturday, October 11, 2025, at Fairwood Park (6700 Logan Ave. S.), bringing families together for a morning of free pumpkins, community fun, and local flavor.

The event runs from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., with organizers encouraging families to arrive early—free pumpkins are available one per family, while supplies last.

A Fall Morning Full of Family Fun

Beyond the main pumpkin giveaway, this family-friendly event offers a full lineup of seasonal activities and attractions for all ages, including:

  • Local Vendors: Explore and support Richfield’s small businesses.
  • Gift Card Drawing: Enter to win certificates to favorite local restaurants.
  • Fun for Kids: Face painting, photo booths, coloring contests, and autumn refreshments.
  • Bounce House Obstacle Course: A hit for children ready to play and compete.

In previous years, families have also enjoyed visits from local mascots, tractor-drawn wagon rides, and other interactive features that make the Great Pumpkin Giveaway one of the community’s most anticipated events each fall.

Community Collaboration at Its Best

The 2025 Great Pumpkin Giveaway is presented by a coalition of community partners and local sponsors who make this free event possible:

This collaboration reflects the deep community spirit that defines Richfield—neighbors, businesses, and civic leaders coming together to create inclusive, family-focused events that strengthen local connections.

Continuing the Tradition of Sustainability

Following the October celebration, the City of Richfield continues the autumn spirit with its annual “Pumpkin Smash” event in November, encouraging residents to compost their pumpkins and reduce waste—a sustainable companion to the festive giveaway.

Celebrating Two Decades of Community Spirit

Now in its 20th year, the Great Pumpkin Giveaway remains a cornerstone of Richfield’s seasonal calendar—where laughter, pumpkins, and community pride fill the crisp autumn air.
