Pumkinpalooza in NoMa
NoMa BID will hold their annual Pumpkinpalooza today. While all the reserved pumpkins have been claimed, the event is still worth your time even if you don't get a pumpkin. It's a family friendly celebration with live music from the Ryan Forrester Band, a petting zoo, face painting, snacks, and food trucks. Leashed (and well-behaved) dogs are welcome. Pumpkinpalooza takes place at The Lot at First & Pierce (1150 First St. NE) from 4–7pm (Wednesday, Oct. 24). All is not lost if you didn't sign up for a pumpkin, as reserved pumpkins not picked up by 5pm will go to those who are present.
