Pumpkin Fest starts tonight with the lighting of Pumpkin Mountain. The annual fest is this weekend at Pony Express Museum, 914 Penn, and features live entertainment, a children’s costume parade, rides, games, crafts and food.

Watch the lighting of the Great Pumpkin Mountain at 8pm Friday night, when thousands of people come to view hundreds of carved, electrically lit pumpkins come to life with a flip of a switch.
