19th Annual Mt Washington Pumpkin Chuck
When you’re not watching the pumpkins fly, peruse artisan goods from 16 unique local
crafters and vendors at The Potted Palm Market in partnership with the Pumpkin Chuck
Festival. Find glass plants, vintage treasures, handcrafted woodwork, candles, and so much
more!
The event is free to attend and will occur rain or shine. There are two options for launching
your pumpkins: a donation of $5 plus your leftover pumpkin or jack-o’-lantern to pull the
rope and launch a gourd, or a donation of $15 plus your leftover Very Important Pumpkin or
jack-o’-lantern to pull the rope and launch your own gourd. Limit for either is three
pumpkins per family. New this year: We’re encouraging you to bring out those smaller
pumpkins as well! Did you draw a face on a pie pumpkin? We can launch that, too!
Local resident, trebuchet expert, and volunteer Mark Lorenz is counting the days: “The
trebuchets are ready. Halloween is approaching. The volunteers are busily preparing. The
deer are eagerly waiting for their post-festival snacks. The Pumpkin Chuck Festival truly is
the best day of the year.”
You won’t want to miss this staple Mt. Washington event. Join the community from noon to
5 p.m. on Saturday, November 1, 2025, to celebrate fall and all things pumpkin at Stanbery
Park, where, as the locals say, “Thank gourd it’s fly-day!”
