9th Annual Saratoga Giant PumpkinFest

About this event

The Saratoga County Chamber of Commerce will present the 2024 Saratoga Giant Pumpkinfest on Saturday, Sept. 28 in downtown Saratoga Springs.

This free and fun-for-all-ages event will be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Saratoga Springs City Center parking garage.

Over the past several years, this family-friendly festival has become a Saratoga County staple, celebrating the kickoff to the fall season as well as the local and regional agricultural community.

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, and is conveniently located near the Saratoga Farmers’ Market at High Rock Park. All who attend Saratoga Giant Pumpkinfest are encouraged to explore the downtown district’s many local shops and restaurants during their visit too.

The Saratoga County Chamber of Commerce would like to thank the Adirondack Trust Company, the Saratoga Springs City Center, the Great Pumpkin Commonwealth, Sunnyside Gardens, Stewart’s Shops, the Saratoga Farmers’ Market and WNYT for supporting this community event.
