It was only held for one year, and then organizers took it to Roger Williams Park in RI (I don't know if it is still there). Salem Haunted Happenings begins on October 1 and runs through November 1 with lots of things for families, children, and adults to do. Please visit the calendar of events at www.hauntedhappenings.org for more information. Hi Doris, Salem does not host the Pumpkin Spectacular any more.

Salem has their famous Haunted Happenings festival throughout October but it does not list any Pumpkin festivals. Maybe as we get closer to Halloween they will post something. I will keep my eyes peeled for you. Cliff Hi Doris,

I can’t find anything about a Pumpkin Spectacular Halloween Week in Salem. Salem has their famous Haunted Happenings festival throughout October but it does not list any Pumpkin festivals. Maybe as we get closer to Halloween they will post something. I will keep my eyes peeled for you.

My wife and I traveled 3 years in a row to the zoo to see the pumpkins. Just when it became tradition they stopped hosting it and no one could tell me if it was being held elsewhere. I didn't know it was held the last 3 years at other locations. Does anyone know if it is being held in 2009? I want to take my wife back to it. She still talks about how much she misses it.

If anybody can shed any light and facts feel free to comment. I hope it was a success for Norwalk and the Maritime Aquarium - they promoted it much better than McCoy Stadium did and my personal opinion of Roger Williams Zoo was that it was a challenge for them - the times I went there, I waited in long lines in very cold weather. Who knows where it will return next year. Enjoy Halloween wherever you go. Cliff I’m not sure we’ll know the full story of why this popular fall festival keeps on being bounced around various venues.
