If you’ve never been to the West Coast Giant Pumpkin Regatta odds are you’ve never seen anyone sit inside a giant pumpkin let alone race one across a lake dressed as a superhero or the tooth fairy.
Over the last 8 years the award-winning West Coast Giant Pumpkin Regatta has become Oregon's best October event. Spectators mostly come from around the Pacific Northwest but also come from all over the United States and Canada. The event has been featured by a wide variety of local, regional, and national media outlets including the Wall Street Journal, CNN, the Travel Channel, Better Homes and Gardens, and Food Network Magazine.
The Pumpkin Regatta is very excited to have bluegrass band Back Porch Revival back again this year!
