ELK GROVE GIANT PUMPKIN FESTIVAL

OCTOBER

Kick off the fall season at the 29th annual Elk Grove Giant Pumpkin Festival, the region’s premier celebration of enormous orange gourds and all things pumpkin!

Festival goers will be amused for hours with carnival rides, inflatables, arts and crafts, vendors and food trucks, and more. Entertainers and musical acts will fill three stages throughout the weekend. Plus, giant pumpkins from the Giant Pumpkin Weigh-Off will be carved into boats and paddled across the lake in the Pumpkin Regatta!

Squash the competition and win cash prizes at the festival by signing up for the Youth Art, Best Pumpkin Recipe, Lil’ Pumpkin Cupcake, or Scarecrow contests. Advanced registration is required.
