Annual Pumpkin Fest in Chicago Returns🎃

It’s almost that time again 👀 in less than 4 weeks, Jack’s Pumpkin pop up is coming back to the city for another round of fun. As you may already know: there’ll be axe throwing, over 10,000 pumpkins, a corn maze, and other fun fall activities. I feel like this is a Chicago staple you must do at least once 🙂‍↕️ If memory serves correctly, tickets should start at around $22 with the option for additional add-ons (drinks, axe throwing, etc) Hours and exact date haven’t been announced yet but be on the lookout next month to stay in the loop! #lemon8partner #chicagopumpkins #fallpopup Jack's Pumpkin Pop-up
