Saturday was a great day downtown. Main Street was packed from the first song at 10AM until the last bite at 6PM. We saw families, friends and neighbors out enjoying fall in Massena together, and that’s what this event is all about.

Pumpkinpalooza doesn’t happen without a lot of people pitching in. Here’s who we want to thank.
