West Coast Giant Pumpkin Regatta

Since 2004 people from around the country have gathered to watch costumed characters paddle giant pumpkin boats in a series of races.

This fun filled weekend includes Pumpkins and Pints which features a giant pumpkin weigh-off, the 5K Regatta Run/Walk, and Pumpkin Regatta festival and pumpkin races. The giant pumpkins are supplied by our friends from the Pacific Giant Vegetable Growers.
