Hundreds of kids trick-or-treated around Wake Forest University’s Benson University Center on Tuesday, October 28, 2025 for the annual Project Pumpkin fall festival, a University student-led event to bring together students, faculty, staff and Winston-Salem communities.
Each year since Project Pumpkin’s inception in 1989, hundreds of Wake Forest students—many in costume—have welcomed children for an afternoon of games, trick-or-treating, music and entertainment. The event is free and open to the community, with activities targeted to kindergarteners through 5th-graders.
