FCAC Annual Pumpkin Patch is a signature event for Pensacola, and is the only Pumpkin Patch benefiting non-profit First City Art Center as an important cultural asset for the community.

Artists will join us for the event to meet and talk to guests. Look for the artist lanyards!
The Pumpkin Crop
These unique hand-made pumpkins made by members of FCAC’s glass and pottery guilds come in all shapes, colors and sizes. Prices for glass and ceramic pumpkins begin at $20.
