Titletown opens its gates for free Pumpkin Palooza on Saturday, Oct. 17

Packers’ Titletown will host Pumpkin Palooza presented by H.J. Martin and Son, a family-focused fall event with free pumpkin carving, interactive activities and outdoor live music from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Titletown is getting into the autumn spirit with Pumpkin Palooza, a free, all-ages event scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 17. The Packers’ community destination will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., offering guests a mix of seasonal activities, including pumpkin carving and interactive games, along with outdoor live music.

The event is presented by H.J. Martin and Son, and it is designed as a low-cost option for families and visitors looking for a day outdoors without needing tickets or event admission. Titletown is positioning the gathering as a public-facing celebration that fits the fall landscape, with activities that can be enjoyed throughout the afternoon.

Pumpkin carving is the centerpiece, with organizers preparing a format intended to involve participants directly. Rather than treating the day as a passive festival, the programming centers on hands-on participation, which typically draws a range of ages, from kids excited to create their own jack-o’-lanterns to adults who want a casual activity during a weekend visit.

Alongside carving, Pumpkin Palooza includes interactive games. Those activities are part of the event’s broader appeal, aiming to keep the schedule moving and to offer options for guests who might not want to spend the full window seated and focused on one activity.

Outdoor live music is also slated for the event, giving the day a festival atmosphere that extends beyond the main activity zone. In a setting built around year-round community events, live performances can shift the tone from a craft fair to a walkaround experience, and organizers are treating music as a key ingredient in that effect.

Titletown’s calendar is closely tied to what happens around the Packers’ home base, and Pumpkin Palooza is part of how the team’s broader sports organization maintains a connection with local residents outside of game day. For the community, it is a chance to experience the stadium-adjacent venue in a lighter, non-competition context.

For attendees, the practical takeaway is simple: the event is free and runs across a six-hour window on Oct. 17, with programming intended to spread through the day. Guests who want a longer time for carving may choose to arrive earlier, while those more focused on games and music can plan around when they prefer to stay.

As with any public event, attendees should plan for weather and consider arriving with the expectation of a family crowd. Titletown’s goal appears to be an accessible, weekend activity rather than a niche program, so the main thing to watch next is turnout and how quickly the carving activity cycles through the afternoon.

Why It Matters

  • Events like Pumpkin Palooza reinforce the Packers’ presence in the community beyond the football season and game day.
  • A free, hands-on format can broaden participation, especially for families who may not attend stadium events otherwise.
  • With live music and interactive activities, Titletown can serve as a year-round gathering spot rather than a venue reserved for specific sports milestones.
  • The fall timing aligns the team’s local brand with seasonal public programming, helping sustain year-to-year engagement at the stadium district.
