This weekend, the Dreamwalkers Guild once again gathered the community - this time for a cozy and atmospheric Pumpkin Festival held on the peaceful farmlands outside Thais. The quiet countryside transformed into a warm autumn celebration, illuminated by lanterns and filled with the scent of roasted pumpkin and spiced drinks.
Guests were welcomed with hearty seasonal food, including free warm farm-style dishes and the festival’s standout treat: corn soaked in pumpkin brine - a specialty prepared especially for the occasion. Freshly pressed pumpkin juice, spiced rum, and creamy pumpkin-spice lattes were served throughout the evening, keeping spirits high and hands warm.
To ensure comfort regardless of the autumn weather, a covered bar area was set up, offering shelter, soft lighting, and a relaxed space to socialize and enjoy the atmosphere. Nearby, a fortune-telling fairy entertained curious visitors by offering mysterious glimpses into their future, adding a touch of whimsical magic to the event.
For those seeking a quieter, wholesome moment, the farm’s friendly chickens proved unexpectedly popular - giving guests a chance to enjoy a simple, peaceful break from the bustle of the celebration.
The festival wasn’t just about food and pumpkins - it was about community. The goal was to create a warm and welcoming moment where Refugia’s residents could gather, laugh, and enjoy the spirit of the season together. With its rustic charm and heartfelt atmosphere, the Pumpkin Festival brought a unique autumn flavor to Refugia and strengthened the bonds that make its community special.
