Hatchday Celebration - July
The Hatchday Celebration is a big, fun, birthday party for Gaia the Turtle -- the Ithaca Children's Garden signature feature. Gaia's construction was completed in July 2005 so we mark her "hatchday" each July with hands-on activities, visits from the Wetlands Wizard, performances, a parade, and of course, hatchday cake (yum!).
Scarecrow Jubilee & Pumpkin Jam - October
Celebrate scarecrows, pumpkins, and everything autumn at the Garden with a weekend event for all ages. The Friday night Pumpkin Jam features a carved pumpkin art (aka jack-o'-lantern) gallery and contest, live music, food, and fun.

The Saturday afternoon Scarecrow Jubilee promises great hands-on activities, yummy food, toe-tapping tunes, and of course, scarecrow making. Big, small, serious, or silly…we have all the supplies you need.
