Our Story
Ceredo-Kenova AutumnFest Tradition
The centerpiece of the Ceredo-Kenova AutumnFest is the famous Pumpkin House, which has become one of the favorite tourist attractions of West Virginia. In 1978, the Pumpkin House began with only 5 pumpkins carved for a Halloween display. Since then, the number of hand-carved pumpkins has grown to 3,000.
Each year Ceredo and Kenova welcome nearly 60,000 visitors to the Pumpkin House. Over the years, we have watched children that have visited the Pumpkin House grow to have children of their own that they now bring to see the display.
