Giant Pumpkin Fest - Sept. 27, 2025
West St. Paul Giant Pumpkin Fest
Get ready for the second annual Giant Pumpkin Fest on Saturday, September 27th! It’s bigger and better than ever, with more attractions, delicious food, and fun for the whole family.
Did you grow a pumpkin from the seeds we gave out? Bring it to the contest to show off your hard work! We'd love to see your homegrown pumpkins, no matter their size, shape, or color.
Even if you didn't get seeds, you can still participate! This year, we've added new contests for the biggest zucchini, gourd, and sunflower. And for all the bakers, we're also hosting a homemade pie contest!
Everyone is invited, so come and enjoy a day of fun, including:
- Kids' Activities: A pumpkin decorating station, giant inflatable slide, face painting, and a balloon twister.
- Delicious Food: Indulge in some tasty BBQ and sweet cotton candy.
- Prizes & Giveaways: Participate for a chance to win!
- Furry Friends: Say hello to adoptable animals from Penny's All Breed Rescue and maybe even a special visit from a friendly alpaca!
You don't need to enter a contest to enjoy the day, so come on down and join the fun!
Check back soon for the full schedule of events & contest details!
