BESSEMER, Mich. (WZMQ) – The 45th annual Pumpkinfest is back this weekend in Bessemer.
Along S Sophie Street, free carnival rides will be open starting Friday at 5 p.m., as well as vendors and live entertainment. Saturday is ‘Family Fun Day,’ featuring various pumpkin themed events and fundraisers, including pumpkin carving, pumpkin bowling, pumpkin geocaching, even a Trunk or Treat.
