Children and families can explore a lush landscape where pumpkins peek around nearly every corner at Descanso's annual Pumpkin Roundup, Oct. 24 and 25.
The highlights of the days are the costume parades, taking place at 10 and 11 a.m., when children can join in a cast of costumed characters and creatures who will make a grand procession through the Gardens with Mr. Dave singing the way. Afterward, everyone meets at the Under the Oaks Theater for a sing-along.
In addition, the Moo Doo Puppet Show takes place at 10:30 and 11:30 at the Under the Oaks Theater. Catch a show that promotes peace, diversity and imagination.
Other activities include: free face painting (noon- 2 p.m.) and pony rides (Saturday, Oct. 24 ONLY from noon - 4 p.m. for $3), a pumpkin decorating station ($2 per pumpkin) and rides on the Enchanted Railroad ($3).
