It’s that time of year again — get ready to set sail to your jack-o’-lanterns and watch them light up the water. The Pumpkin Flotilla at the Bond Park Boathouse (801 High House Rd., Cary) is Friday, Oct. 25 from 4-7 p.m.
Planning to participate? Be sure to drop off your pumpkin creation on Thursday, Oct. 24 from 4-6 p.m. Floats are available on a first come, first served basis, so try to arrive as early as possible. If you need a pumpkin — use our guide to pumpkin picking.
The event will also feature live music and food trucks. Plus, boat rentals will be available. Pro tip: Bring a blanket or chair so you can sit on the edge of the lake and watch the lit-up pumpkins float by.
Can’t make the pumpkin send off? The jack-o'-lanterns are typically left floating on the lake and re-lit the following nights.
