The Great Pumpkin Smash in Highland Park

Pumpkin Smash is a community-driven event dedicated to sustainability and reducing waste during Halloween. Hosted by the Park District of Highland Park, the event encourages participants to bring their carved and uncarved pumpkins to be composted and turned into nutrient-rich soil.

This eco-friendly initiative helps divert organic waste from landfills while promoting awareness of composting and environmental conservation. Attendees can enjoy a day of pumpkin smashing, composting and learning about sustainable practices that support a healthier planet.
