The Friends of Tooting Common, London Borough of Wandsworth, Pumpkin Parade was held on Sunday 25 October, starting at 4 p.m. on a cool but dry, afternoon.

As usual although the event was described as a ‘parade’, its main components were two fancy dress competitions (one for children under 8, and the other for older children), and three pumpkin competitions (most artistic, funniest, and scariest).  39 carved pumpkins were entered in the competitions (down from 48 in 2025, and 55 in 2024), and an estimated 200 people, the same number as in 2025, attended.
