Many merchants will reveal new fall merchandise with exclusive, in-store specials during this event. Visitors will have the opportunity to vote on the "most creative" and "most spooky" pumpkins. Participants may cast their votes by tagging a photo on Instagram or Facebook using the hashtag #AutumnFestGeneva.
