A Literary Pumpkin Walk
Who needs spooky? Our neighborhood’s Halloween is literary!
Each year, Capitol Hill neighbors decorate their homes for the holiday with a theme based on a book or literary character. Decorations can be anything from a single pumpkin or scarecrow to a full-on front-yard scene. This is a companion event to our annual Literary Feast.
No idea is too small … but think big! Some neighbors work together to decorate entire blocks inspired by a single book.
All registrants to the Literary Pumpkin Walk are included in our map, and visitors can vote on their favorite design. The winning registrant gets to choose a neighborhood school to receive a grant of $1,000.
The 2023 Literary Pumpkin Walk is scheduled for October 25-31.
