West Coast Giant Pumpkin Regatta
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
The West Coast Giant Pumpkin Regatta is one of Oregon’s most unique fall Festivals. Since 2004 people from around the country have gathered to witness costumed characters paddling inside giant pumpkins in a series of races. This fun-filled weekend includes Pumpkins and Pints, a giant pumpkin weigh-off, Regatta Run, and Regatta festival and pumpkin races. Friends from the Pacific Giant Vegetable Growers supply the giant pumpkins.
