The Battersea Pumpkin Festival is an annual one-day event that takes place on the first Saturday in October. If Thanksgiving happens to fall on that weekend, the Pumpkin Festival will take place the following weekend. The Pumpkin Festival is very proud to be not-for-profit and administer the Patchwork Funds. All proceeds from admission sales above operating costs goes into the Patchwork Fund and distributed in the community where it is needed most.
