Living in Northern California means we sometimes have a unique way of doing things. Whereas others may plan a visit to the nearest farm to pick up their annual Halloween pumpkin, there’s one town in our region of the Golden State that does it differently. The city of Roseville holds an annual “floating pumpkin patch”, and it’s actually quite amazing! Both young and old will have a blast as they swim around while looking for the perfect pumpkin to take home with them. On top of offering a unique way of picking out a pumpkin, this event has a lot of wonderful family-friendly fun to offer. Partake in a new tradition this year and check it out!

Of course, the highlight of this eccentric event is the “floating” pumpkin patch, which is actually the Mike Shellito Indoor Pool with a bunch of pumpkins floating in it. Hop in the pool with your kiddos and begin your hunt for that perfect Halloween pumpkin.
