Annual Pumpkin Chuckin’ Festival

A fall festival of pumpkin chuckin’ fun for the whole family. Contestants build trebuchets to see who can hurl pumpkins the furthest. Music, a Chili-Cookoff, and other activities make this a great way to celebrate fall in Vermont. The event is a great opportunity for kids and adults of all ages to build something with their hands and engage in some family-friendly competition. Cash, prizes, trophies, and bragging rights are awarded to the 3 best teams in each of 4 divisions as well as the 3 best chilis and 3 best cornhole teams.

The VTPC Festival is a one-day event and has grown every year. The Festival runs from 11:00 am – 4:00 pm and features three rounds of competitive pumpkin chuckin’ at 12:30 pm, 1:30 pm, and 2:30 pm, with awards shortly after the last round. No dogs or outside food or beverages are allowed at the event. Food, beer, and wine will be sold by Stoweflake.

Along with the Pumpkin Chuckin’ contest, there will be music, a chili cook-off, a volleyball tournament, and kids activities, all creating an enjoyable fall day. Plenty of time to build a fine trebuchet, prepare your chili, or practice your cornhole skills.
