Registering Your Pumpkin

Help us create the magic and break the world record by bringing your own jack-o-lanterns to the Pumpkin Festival…the more, the merrier!

When you arrive at the Festival, you must register your carved pumpkins for them to count towards the world record. Please follow these easy instructions to register your pumpkin:

  • Bring a carved pumpkin and a 3-inch votive candle to Railroad Square in downtown Keene the day before the event between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. and log it in at the Log-in Tent…or bring your creation the day of the festival and log it in at one of the seven Official Log-in Tents located at every intersection on Main Street.
  • To be counted for the official record, all jack-o-lanterns must be carved and entered at an official Log-In Station before 6 p.m. the day of the festival.
  • Once you log in, pick a place along Main Street to show off your creation!

Remember: All jack-o-lanterns must be registered to count toward the Guinness World Record!
