October 14, 2026
A festive scavenger hunt is drawing visitors across the cobblestones at BridgeWay Station this week as the mixed-use development hosts its daily “Golden Pumpkin Hunt” in the countdown to its annual Fall Festival on Saturday, Oct. 17.
Each day leading up to the weekend festival, organizers are hiding special golden pumpkins across the property’s public plazas, walkways, and gathering spots. The search officially kicks off daily at 1:00 p.m., when clues are broadcast on the development’s outdoor big screen and shared through BridgeWay Station’s official Instagram and Facebook Stories.
