Disney on Ice Tickets
Thanks to our friends at NBC 11 we have Disney on Ice tickets again! There are two ways you can take advantage of this great deal:
  • Come to Pumpkins in the Park and put your name in the hat for a free drawing. Ticket vouchers will be given out throughout the day. Stop by the information booth.
  • Purchase a minimum $35 new membership with Guadalupe River Park Conservancy and we’ll give you two (2) ticket vouchers for free (while supplies last). If you’re already a member, you can upgrade your membership or purchase a gift membership for friends or family.

You will be required to take your vouchers to the HP Pavilion ticket office to exchange them for the actual tickets. The sooner you take your vouchers to the box office, the better seats you'll get. These vouchers are only good for the following shows:

  • The winner will be selected on who has the largest sunflower head measured by diameter just before the edge
  • We will award 1st, 2nd and 3rd places, with a prize for the 1st place winner
  • The winners will be announced at 11:45 from the main stage.
  • Participants are encourage to mingle and show off their entries with the general public, but this is not required.

Children's Costume Parade!

Want to test drive your Halloween costume? Check in at the Pumpkins in the Park stage at 10:30 AM and get ready to march across the stage and out into the event grounds to show off your duds. All participants will receive a free goodie bag as a token of our appreciation. A winner will be judged and awarded a special prize. Afterwards, remain in costume or slip into something more comfortable and enjoy the myriad of great free activities. Just one more fun thing to do at Pumpkins in the Park!
Zero Waste

We've decided to make this a Zero Waste Event as defined by the City of San Jose. We hope you can help us meet the requirements...here are some of the things we are doing:

  • Eco-Stations will be strategically located throughout the event. They will offer visitors the option to place things in the trash, in the recycling bin, or in the composting bin. Volunteers will staff each station to help people make the right choice.
  • All of the food we will be serving will be compostable itself and be served on paper products that can be composted.
  • Many of the materials used to produce the event are reusable, such as burlap table clothes, reusable signage, etc.
  • We've gone almost entirely digital...very few paper fliers were printed this year!
