Notes

Pumpkin Flotilla Guidelines: Bring a pumpkin that weighs about 8lbs after it is carved (about the size of a soccer ball). Mini or extra large pumpkins cannot participate in the flotilla.

Be creative! All pumpkins must have the tops and be gutted and carved. Jack-o-lanterns with any artificial embellishments (paint, glitter, glue, marker, dye, paper, plastic, etc) cannot participate in the flotilla. A light and floating device will be provided when you check your pumpkin in at the event.

Check-in: Drop your pumpkin off at the check-in area by the boat launch by 5:30pm. Space for the flotilla is limited to 50 pumpkins, so make sure your creation meets all of the requirements. Please note: pumpkins will not be returned. Thank you for your contribution to this event.

Watch the Flotilla! After our activities have concluded, find a spot along the shores of Lake Ellyn and watch as the lit jack-o-lanterns float by!
