EVANS CITY — Once is a happening, twice is a coincidence and three times is a tradition.

On the weekend of Sept. 21 and 22, the streets of Evans City were packed for the third annual Pumpkinfest, a celebration of all things autumn and all things pumpkin.

“It's such a great community event,” said Molly DiFiore, the vice president of Evans City’s events committee. “We love being able to bring the town together, and also bringing visitors to the town just to see how cute this area is.”

According to DiFiore, the event was primarily the brainchild of Pam Greenawalt, the owner of P&B’s Sweets and Eats on East Main Street. Greenawalt pushed for an event which would serve as a successor to Evans City’s former fall tradition, the Octoberfest, which ended after 2021 when the organizers retired.
