2023 LightHouse Family Pumpkin Palooza
Come one, come all to our second annual Family Pumpkin Palooza! We’re brewing up a cauldron of Halloween excitement that the whole family can enjoy. This thrilling event will feature a unique blend of creativity, inclusivity, and spooky spirit. The afternoon will start with some pumpkin carving followed by a costume contest. Our Halloween theme festival hosted by the LightHouse Youth Program team takes place at our 1155 Market ST. headquarters in San Francisco.
