The story

Tecumseh Appleumpkin Festival in Tecumseh

Tecumseh's Appleumpkin Festival is an autumn community festival in downtown Tecumseh, Michigan, held annually in early-to-mid October. Marking roughly three decades of tradition, it combines a juried arts and crafts show, carnival midway rides, three stages of live music, fair food vendors, and free kids' activities, and runs alongside the nearby Kapnick Orchards Apple Festival via a free shuttle.

Its apple/pumpkin identity and downtown setting make it a useful seasonal row.
