The Pumpkin Walk is a fun, festive, family-oriented event hosted by Bainbridge Gardens for two nights every October. The proceeds of this popular, non-scary event benefit the Bainbridge Island Boys and Girls Club.  Hundreds of people of all ages come to walk along Bainbridge Gardens  historic Nature Trail, glowing with a grand display of nearly 300 lighted, carved pumpkins.  For many families, the Pumpkin Walk has become a Halloween tradition.  Kids enjoy winding through the Harvest Hay Maze and jumping in the inflatable Bounce House.  You can have your picture taken with the Great Pumpkin (he gives out candy too!) and tap your toes to live music by Strings Du Jour.  The Bainbridge Island Boys and Girls Club provide face painting and carnival games with prizes. Hot Dogs, Pizza, Chili, Treats and Hot Drinks will be available for purchase from the New Rose Café. Bainbridge Gardens invite and encourage you to bring in a carved pumpkin for the Pumpkin Walk.  They have pumpkins and carving tools for purchase at Bainbridge Gardens.   When you bring in your finished creation, you will receive a small prize for participating. Completed pumpkins need to be dropped off at Bainbridge Gardens by Friday afternoon, October 16th.  Bainbridge Gardens will provide candles.  This is an outdoor event; please dress for the weather.  Costumes are optional. There is limited parking on-site at Bainbridge Gardens.  Off-site, there will be parking lots designated for Pumpkin Walk guests.  These parking spaces are provided to as a courtesy from neighboring businesses and the City of Bainbridge Island.  Some parking lots will have shuttle service provided by the Bainbridge Island Boys and Girls Club.  There is no admission charge.   There is a suggested cash donation for each attraction to benefit the Bainbridge Island Boys & Girls Club.
