Every year after Halloween, the North Vancouver City Fire Department hosts one of the most entertaining community events on the North Shore — the annual Pumpkin Drop! In this video, we capture all the fun as pumpkins meet their spectacular end.

The Pumpkin Drop is a wonderful example of the community spirit that thrives on the North Shore. Families bring their post-Halloween pumpkins to be dropped from the fire department's aerial ladder truck, creating a satisfying smash that delights kids and adults alike. It is also an eco-friendly way to dispose of pumpkins, as the remains are composted.

Events like this are what make North Vancouver such a family-friendly place to live. The strong sense of community, combined with beautiful natural surroundings, makes the North Shore one of the most desirable places to call home in Greater Vancouver.
