SARATOGA SPRINGS — The 2024 Saratoga Giant Pumpkinfest on Saturday, Sept. 28 in downtown Saratoga Springs.
This free and fun-for-all-ages event, presented by The Saratoga County Chamber of Commerce will be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Saratoga Springs City Center parking garage.
Attendees will have the opportunity to marvel at giant pumpkins – some over 1,000 pounds – and watch the official weigh-off, which begins at 11 a.m. Growers from all over New York state and the Northeast bring the biggest pumpkins from their harvest and compete for the coveted title of “Heaviest Pumpkin of Year,” along with additional categories and prizes.
The festival will include fall favorite activities as well as food and beverage vendors on site. More information about Saratoga Giant Pumpkinfest is available online at https://www.saratoga.org/live/giant-pumpkin-fest/.
