Fall Festival & Pumpkin Plunge

We’ve all been to pumpkin patches, but have you ever been to a Pumpkin Plunge? It’s like a pumpkin patch in a pool, so you’ll definitely want to bring your swimsuits to the Dye Clay YMCA on Friday, October 19 at 7 p.m.

Before that, the kids can also enjoy trunk-or-treating at 6 p.m. as well as a cake walk and Halloween games with prizes. This fall festival in Jacksonville is free and open to the public, so bring the whole family!
