Celebrate fall in Oswego with a free pumpkin for your front porch!

The Village of Oswego, in partnership with Allied First Bank, Byline Bank, First Midwest Bank, and Old Second Bank, will be handing out free pumpkins this Saturday, Oct. 10, from noon to 3 p.m. at the site of the new Oswego Entertainment Venue. 

Children are encouraged to wear their costumes.  A fall photo backdrop will be set up for optional, do-it-yourself, family photos.  

The future Oswego Entertainment Venue is coming soon to the 1000 block of Station Drive, near the Park N Ride parking lot. For pumpkin pick-up, head to the Park N Ride lot.  Staff and volunteers will be there to greet and direct you.

Pumpkins are available on a first-come, first-served basis until all 500 pumpkins have been given out.  Open to Oswego residents only.
