The Giant Pumpkin Festival is a celebration of autumn’s bounty and community spirit. Here, vendors showcase an array of fresh goods, inviting visitors to explore a diverse selection of produce that includes crisp vegetables, ripe fruits, and aromatic herbs. Local artists also join the festivities, offering their unique, homemade crafts. For the younger attendees, the festival is a playground of pumpkin-themed activities: they can carve pumpkins, participate in a pumpkin pie contest, sprint in a kids’ pumpkin race, and create themed items at the activity tent. The festival’s highlight is undoubtedly the Giant Pumpkin Boat Race in the marina, where colossal pumpkins are transformed into buoyant vessels. The competitors vie for the honor of winning the traveling trophy, making it a much-anticipated event for all. This festival not only celebrates the harvest but also fosters a sense of togetherness and creativity within the community.
