The City of Medford is gearing up for Halloween fun!
In

Chamber of Commerce, Mayor Breanna Lungo-Koehn announced options for
residents to safely celebrate Halloween. Residents of all ages are
invited to enjoy Halloween with us in any or all of the following ways:

Back by popular demand, the Medford Recreation Department and the Mayor’s Office are hosting the 2nd annual Pumpkin Float on Saturday, October 30th

Medford’s own Matt Heaton, a craft table sponsored by the Medford
Family Network, a pop-up beer garden by Medford Brewing Company, and a
walk through the Pond area to view jack-o-lanterns! Costumes are
encouraged.

Wright’s Pond for an illuminated Halloween display event. You can drop
off pumpkins on Wednesday, October 28th or Thursday, October 29th between 3:00 and 6pm.
Battery-operated
