Saturday, September 23, 2023
10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

The highlight event is a Giant Pumpkin Boat Race between assorted sponsored businesses and groups from the surrounding communities. The average pumpkin size to race is 400 to 500 pounds! The Giant Pumpkin Festival is a fun event that brings the community together to watch a ridiculous Giant Pumpkin “boat” race, eat local foods, and enjoy local artists and vendors.
This year’s festival will include booths with Craft Vendors, Artists, Direct Sales Vendors, Food Vendors, and a Farmers Market. The entire event is family fun focused.
Different Contests:
Jack-O-Lantern Painting/carving – prizes (for all ages)
Pumpkin Bowling (ages 3-12) (ages 13-adults)
Pumpkin Decorating Activity (children 3-12)
Pumpkin Seed Spitting Contest – prizes (for all ages)
Pumpkin Pie Eating Contest – prizes (Youth Group & Adult Group)
Additional Activities:
Local Musician, “Bouncy” House Fun, Pumpkin Bean Bag Toss, and more!
