Pumpkin Point 2025

Pump­kin Point, Gov­er­nors Island’s annu­al pump­kin patch and fall fes­ti­val, returns to Nolan Park for 2025! Vis­i­tors are invit­ed to pick out their own pump­kins Octo­ber 25 & 26, 2025, from 10am to 5pm. Please lim­it pump­kins to one per per­son per house­hold, and plan to bring your own tote bag/​reusable bag to hold your pumpkins.

Cos­tumes are high­ly encour­aged, with trick-or-treat­ing at Nolan Park’s his­toric hous­es on both days (as sup­plies last). Gov­er­nors Island food ven­dors will be on-site with fall-themed food and drink avail­able for purchase.

Pump­kin Point is rain or shine. Please be advised, a large num­ber of vis­i­tors is expect­ed for Pump­kin Point, so please leave extra time to board and ride the fer­ry – we rec­om­mend arriv­ing at least 20 min­utes before your sched­uled depar­ture. The Trust for Gov­er­nors Island will oper­ate spe­cial event fer­ries from Red Hook/​Atlantic Basin and Brook­lyn Bridge Park/​Pier 6 on Octo­ber 25 & 26, 2025, to accom­mo­date antic­i­pat­ed heavy visitorship.
