Pumpkin Fest, presented by First National Community Bank, was bigger than ever this year! With 18 participating businesses and organizations bringing their creativity to downtown Dallas, this year's friendly competition reached a record-breaking milestone, raising an incredible $3,195!

The community showed up in a big way, casting votes for their favorite pumpkin displays and helping support Downtown Dallas initiatives through the Downtown Development Authority's BOOST Grant program.

Taking home first place was Sudie Electric, raising an impressive $1,127! Freedom Plumbing followed closely behind in second place, raising $1,077. Both businesses brought plenty of creativity and community spirit to this year's competition.

The Mayor's Choice Award went to C&L Contractors, earning recognition for their standout pumpkin display!

A huge thank you to all 20 participants who helped make this year's Pumpkin Fest such a success, to everyone who voted, and especially to First National Community Bank for presenting this beloved downtown tradition.

Every dollar raised helps support the continued growth and improvement of Downtown Dallas through the BOOST Grant program, making this event about more than just pumpkins. It's about bringing our community together and investing in the small businesses that make our downtown special.

Thank you, Dallas, for helping us make this a record-breaking year. We can't wait to see what next year's Pumpkin Fest brings!
