9th Annual West Coast Giant Pumpkin Regatta

If you’ve never been to the West Coast Giant Pumpkin Regatta odds are you’ve never seen anyone sit inside a giant pumpkin, let alone race one across a lake dressed as a superhero or the tooth fairy!

The Regatta is a series of wacky races around the Lake at Tualatin Commons in 1000 lb. pumpkin boats by costumed participants. The event also features live music, pumpkin pie eating contests, kids pumpkin carving, face painting, pumpkin golf, a kids costume contest (all attendees are encouraged to dress up!), Smokey and Rojo the Llama Boys, strolling entertainment, clown shows, hot food and drinks, and much more!
The Pacific Giant Vegetable Growers will hold the 13th Annual Terminator Weigh-Off in conjunction with the Regatta and the largest of the large pumpkins will be awarded cash prizes. Come early to watch the parade of giant pumpkins arriving at the Commons. You’ll be amazed!
