Pumpkin Time on Main

Pumpkin Time on Main is a treasured autumn tradition that transforms downtown Waupaca into a glowing outdoor gallery of handcrafted pumpkin art. From late October through the first few days of November, hundreds of carved pumpkins are displayed throughout the City Square area, creating a magical fall experience for visitors of all ages. As evening approaches and the displays begin to glow, the downtown district comes alive with the sights and spirit of the season.

The event celebrates the dedication and creativity of local grower Jim Miller, who has spent years cultivating pumpkins and sharing carving techniques with community members. Miller helps turn each pumpkin into a unique work of art, resulting in a stunning community-wide display. Drawing visitors from across Wisconsin and beyond, Pumpkin Time on Main offers a memorable opportunity to experience small-town charm, local artistry, and the beauty of fall in the heart of Waupaca.
