Free Fall Fun: Drayton Valley’s Forbidden Forest Pumpkin Walk

Drayton Valley, just outside Calgary, is lighting up this Thursday, October 22, with the annual Forbidden Forest Pumpkin Walk. As a co-founder of a co-working space in Calgary since 2018, I understand the importance of community events that bring people together. This walk offers a fantastic opportunity to enjoy the fall season with family and friends, complete with carved pumpkins, live music, and local food trucks.

The event, hosted at the Pembina Nordic Centre, is entirely free and runs from 5 to 10 p.m. This is a must-attend event for anyone looking to embrace the autumn vibe. You can help support the local food bank by stuffing the Nature Navigator or participate in the pumpkin carving contest. Plus, there’s live music from Cronic Dawgs to add to the festive atmosphere.

To reach the event, consider using the free shuttle services starting at 5 p.m. from either Frank Maddock High School or Brazeau Sports Park. Remember to dress warmly, as these October evenings can get chilly. This is a great way to experience the fall culture in Calgary, and it’s a rule change that benefits the community and small operators like my co-working space, which is always looking for opportunities to support local events.

So, grab your coat, invite your friends and family, and prepare for a chill evening full of family-friendly fall fun. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to make the most of the season and contribute to the local community.
