Saratoga Giant Pumpkinfest

Saratoga Spa State Park is proud to host New York’s Giant Pumpkin Weigh-Off this September, sponsored by the Saratoga County Chamber of Commerce. Giant pumpkin growers from around New York State will meet up to find the biggest pumpkin of the year! Stop by for a weekend full of giant pumpkins, hayrides, music, and cider donuts. More than $7,500 in prizes are available for the largest pumpkins. Who can enter the Giant Pumpkin Weigh-Off? Anyone is welcome to enter their giant pumpkin. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a professional farmer, a family with a backyard garden, or a kid growing his or her own pumpkin for the first time. We welcome all entrants! We’ll also have special prize categories for locally-grown giant pumpkins open to Saratoga County residents.
