Keene Pumpkin Festival is an annual fall-themed event held in the beautiful Ontario countryside every October. The cozy village of Keene, with its rolling hills, is a great backdrop to celebrate all things autumn. The one-day festival starts with the community parade, followed by the great pumpkin weigh-off, with some entries weighing over 1000 lbs.
