Did you know pumpkins float? Well, apparently the DCR did because it’s time for the Annual Neponset Great Pumpkin Float at Pop John Pall II Park in Dot on Tuesday, October 20th at 6pm – registration starts at 5:30pm. This wildly popular family event encourages you to bring a 6-8 inch hollow & carved pumpkin to the event. Each jack-o-lantern will have a candle inserted and lit before being launched en mass in the water at 6pm. Floats and candles will be provided. Free hot cocoa and candy treats will also be provided. The event is free and no registration is required. This is the 14th year of this Dorchester tradition when hundreds of kids in costumes and their families participate in the floating parade of pumpkins!
Raise your glass for South Boston Irish Whiskey.
