Treats & Treasures abound at this long- standing tradition in Longmont Colorado. The annual Pumpkin Pie Days and Antique Show is held at the Boulder County Fairgrounds. Thousands of delicious pies and an antique show with many treasures are waiting for you!
Sponsored by the St. Vrain Historical Society as a fund-raising event, you won't want to miss this Longmont tradition. With over 80 antique dealers to choose from as well as a bake-sale, art show and book sale, you'll be sure to work up an appetite! Begin with a steaming bowl of delicious bean soup, then move on to the main attraction- a healthy portion of pumpkin pie and whipped cream!
The first Pumpkin Pie Days were held from 1899-1914 as a community gathering to celebrate the good harvest and good people of Longmont. There were horse races, free pies baked by the housewives of the community and a special set of rail-road tracks were laid to bring extra visitors to town especially for the celebration!
After a long absence, the St. Vrain Historical Society decided to bring back this wonderful tradition. In 1969, Pumpkin Pie Days were brought back to the community along with one of Northern Colorado's best Antique Shows. For over 30 years this festival has been going strong. The annual event draws crowds of up to 5,000 people.
Come experience the fun and good food - the welcoming community of Longmont will be happy to see you!
The show will be held Saturday October 13th from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday October 14th from 10 a.m.
to 5 p.m. Admission is only $4.00 and parking is free.
Boulder County Fairgrounds, 9595 Nelson Rd. in the Exhibit Building
