Cambridge, MA – That’s right, CBC’s incredible and justifiably infamous Great Pumpkin Festival is coming up faster that you can say “Aaaaah! Pumpkin beers!!!!”

This year’s event will be held on Saturday, October 27th from 1pm – 12:30am.  This year we’re likely to see upwards of 40 different pumpkin beers from breweries such as Elysian, Iron Hill, Dogfish Head and Allagash to name just a few.  In addition to pumpkin brews we’ll be paying homage to the great gourd with a Pumpkin Inspired Menu from Executive Chef David Drew, a Pumpkin Processional, Decorations and tons of Great Costumes.

Please see this year’s menus and prospective beer list below.

Admission is $10 at the door and beer and food tickets are available 4 for $5 once you are inside.  You’ll also get this year’s Limited Edition Great Pumpkin Festival Pint Glass.

This event goes on rain or shine.  Children are welcome from 1 – 5pm, after that it’s 21+ with valid ID.
