SARATOGA SPRINGS —The Saratoga County Chamber Of Commerce, the Saratoga Springs City Center, and the Saratoga Farmers Market will host their Annual Saratoga Giant PumpkinFest September 25 from 10-4 p.m. at the Saratoga Springs City Center Parking Garage.

Giant pumpkin growers from the Northeast will again compete at this Festival to find the biggest pumpkin of the year. 

In 2019, the festival had over 40 giant pumpkins and a crowd of 10,000 people in attendance. Last year, pumpkins were safely weighed and transported to locations for families around the county to view for the month of October.

The Saratoga Giant PumpkinFest is a free family-friendly event. Giant pumpkins begin arriving in the early morning with the weigh-off starting at 11 a.m. The Saratoga Farmer's Market will be next door on High Rock Ave. open from 10-3 p.m. with vendors and special exhibits. There will also be opportunities to take selfies with the giant pumpkins to share with friends and family. Contest Winners will be announced at the end of the festival.
