Perfect for a spooky treat, these limited-edition pastries are available throughout the weekend so it’s a good time to stock up. 

Ronan is hosting a festive pumpkin-decorating party for families on Sunday, Oct. 27, from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Kids can enjoy crafting their own pumpkin creations while munching on pizza.

Each $30 ticket, available through OpenTable, includes a kid’s pizza and a pumpkin, with plenty of decorating supplies provided (no sharp tools involved). Adults can enjoy the restaurant’s regular menu, including tiki cocktails from the bar, which will be open during the event.

While ticket purchase is encouraged, walk-ins are welcome, with additional food and drinks available for purchase on-site.
