Don’t trash it, SMASH it! Sling your pumpkin across Astoria Park using a giant slingshot designed and built by Astoria Woodworkers Collective. Or you can grab a mallet and head to our “smash patch” tarp and smash by hand. All smashed pumpkins will be gathered into DSNY bins and taken off site for compost use to enrich our soil throughout the city.We will have LIVE MUSIC at the event with Music On The Inside
supported by the Migliaccio Family.
We will also be incorporating fun games and activities at the event. Before or after your smash, enjoy some giant connect 4, table and field games, face painting, and more!
APA Pumpkin Smash takes place in Astoria Park near the Ditmars Blvd. and 19th Street corner.
Join us on Saturday, November 1st from 1:00pm-3:00pm. (The event may be cancelled or time shifted due to inclement weather, so please stay tuned to social media for any weather related updates.)
And of course, we encourage the community to compost their pumpkin regardless of whether they can make it to the Smash.

Rudy’s Exterminating Co., Astoria Woodworkers Collective,
Dough Donuts, and NYC Department of Sanitation. PLUS our incredible APA Volunteers.
