Don’t trash it, SMASH it! Sling your pumpkin across Astoria Park using a giant slingshot designed and built by Astoria Woodworkers Collective. Once you’ve given your pumpkin a proper smash, spread your pumpkin guts throughout the park, which serves as compost for our tree canopy. This smash will definitely be one for the history books! 

APA Pumpkin Smash takes place in Astoria Park at Ditmars Blvd. and 19th Street. Join us on Sunday, November 6th from 11:00am-12:30pm. Follow Astoria Park Alliance on Facebook for event notifications. The event may be cancelled due to inclement weather.

We encourage the community to compost their pumpkin regardless.
