The city’s largest collection of colossal family fun features the famous fruit that tickle everyone’s fancy in October — except these pumpkins come with one truly titanic twist!: they are huge.
That fruit is the beloved pumpkin, a squash-like plant native to North America long associated with the comforts of autumn.
For while the festival boasts all sorts of pumpkin-themed activities — carvings, drops, food and frivolity — the weekend highlight is the “Great Pumpkin Paddle” that happens in the Allegheny River. Ginormous gourds turned into comical canoes paddling in one preposterous all–pumpkin boat.
Admission is free. The fun happens on Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to dusk and on Sunday from Noon to 6:00 p.m.
