There will be plenty of fall fun happening for kids and grownups on Saturday at the new Town Square at SouthSide Works. 

Here’s what’s on tap:

Beginning at 1 p.m., families can explore The Great Pumpkin Patch to find the perfect pumpkin to bring home. All of the proceeds from this charity pumpkin-picking event will benefit a local nonprofit — Strong Women, Strong Girls of Western Pennsylvania.

The event is co-hosted by Fred Rogers Productions and will feature “Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood” trivia games, plus impressive pumpkin carving artists and plenty of free activities, including face painting and airbrush art. Baron Batch’s “The Residency” gallery will also be getting in on the fun by offering a free pumpkin painting activity.

Get all the details here.

The Great Pumpkin Patch will be open until 5 p.m., and then the fun continues:

At 5:30 p.m., don’t miss free screenings of kid-friendly Halloween programming by Fred Rogers Productions, also happening at SouthSide Works’ new Town Square. This outdoor screening will include new Halloween fun from Fred Rogers Productions’ hit PBS KIDS shows, including all-new Halloween episodes of “Donkey Hodie,” “Alma’s Way,” and live-action segments featuring the Sweater Kids visiting favorite Pittsburgh-area locations from “Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood.”

Seating will be available and guests will receive complimentary movie snacks. The screening is a part of the ongoing celebration of the 10th Anniversary of Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood. (Get details about that here!)
