Details
SMASH a pumpkin - it’s that easy. Pick a pumpkin from the pile, choose from an arsenal of mallets, two-by-fours, or the trusty ol’ Louisville Slugger, and swing away. A Portsmouth tradition that has become the October catharsis of choice for young and old alike. SMASHing implements and personal protective equipment (PPE) supplied!CHANGE FROM PREVIOUS YEARS: due to the increased difficulty in procuring pumpkins to SMASH, we now offer two options:
- BYOP (bring your own pumpkin) $5/SMASH
- Choose your own pumpkin $10/SMASH
We will have raffle baskets with goodies supplied by the vendors at the market, and if you haven't gotten your new t-shirt or hoodie, you can pick one up here! All proceeds go to the Portsmouth Halloween Parade.
REMEMBER... New Hampshire’s biggest Halloween parade is brought to you by the people, for the people. The parade is NOT a city-sponsored event. It is staged by volunteers and funded solely by the community, primarily through grassroots events like this one. Thank you for your support.
