The Great Milwaukie Pumpkin Hunt

Presented by D.A.M & Canned Heat Glass Studios

Ten hand-blown glass pumpkins are hidden across downtown Milwaukie this October. Find one, and it's yours to keep. The hunt builds all month toward the Glass Pumpkin Patch on October 10 & 11, where you can watch these pumpkins made live and take one home yourself.

How It Works


1. Follow us online

Watch our social channels for daily clues pointing to that day's hidden pumpkin.


2. Search downtown

Each pumpkin is hidden somewhere in downtown Milwaukie, often near a local business. Read the clue closely; it usually points you right to the block.


3. Keep what you find

Found one? It's yours. Follow the tag instructions to let us know, and share a photo with #MilwaukiePumpkinHunt so we can celebrate with you.

While You're Downtown

The hunt is a great excuse to see everything downtown Milwaukie has going on this fall.

A Few Good-Neighbor Rules

- One pumpkin per household for the entire hunt, so more neighbors get a turn

- Please don't dig through planters, displays, or private property, and stay out of closed businesses

- These are handmade glass pieces; adults should handle the pumpkin once it's found

- Play is open to the public; Downtown Alliance of Milwaukie and Canned Heat staff are not eligible to keep a pumpkin
