Virginia Pumpkin Festival
The first Virginia Pumpkin festival held over the October Bank Holiday in 2007 proved to be a fantastic success bringing crowds of up to ten thousand people to the picturesque east cavan town. The festival kicked off on Friday night when the town lights were extinguished and the glow of candle lit carved pumpkins illuminated the parade of brazillian dancers and fire throwers which made their way through the crowded street to the main stage on the square |
