Boston’s Annual Official Pumpkins Arrive!


On Tuesday, October 14 at 12:00 PM, the Boston Public Market (BPM) will launch its 10th anniversary year in grand style with the arrival of the Official Pumpkins of Boston — giant gourds delivered by forklift from Market vendor Red Apple Farm. This beloved annual tradition marks the start of BPM’s annual Harvest Party, the Market’s signature fundraising event, taking place on Thursday, October 16, 2025. Happy 10th BPM! 


Picture it: A farmer, a large tractor, and a duo of massive pumpkins will arrive downtown at the Boston Public Market.


ABOUT THE PUMPKINS

This year’s colossal pumpkins come from the fields of Art Kazenski of Irving, Massachusetts, and are generously donated by Boston Public Market vendor Red Apple Farm of Phillipston, Massachusetts. Each year, the arrival of these pumpkins delights visitors of all ages and sets the stage for the Market’s most festive season.


Everyone is invited to gather on the plaza to watch the live unveiling and unloading of Boston’s official pumpkins, a photo-worthy moment that has become a Boston fall tradition.


ABOUT THE BOSTON PUBLIC MARKET:

The Boston Public Market is an indoor, year-round marketplace in Downtown Boston featuring 30 New England food producers and artisans housed under one roof offering fresh foods, prepared meals, crafts, and specialty items. Residents and visitors alike can find seasonal, locally sourced food from Massachusetts and New England, including fresh produce, meat and poultry, eggs, dairy, seafood, baked goods, specialty items, crafts, and prepared breakfast, lunch, and dinner options. Everything sold at the Market is produced or originates in New England, as the seasons allow. As a non-profit organization, the Boston Public Market Association is a “Market on a Mission” to nurture local entrepreneurs, educate visitors on the importance of a resilient and equitable food system, celebrate the bounty of all of New England, and cultivate a diverse community around food.


The Boston Public Market, located at 100 Hanover Street, Boston, MA 02108, is open Friday - Saturday 8 AM - 10 PM, Sunday 10 AM - 9 PM, and Monday - Thursday 8 AM - 9 PM
