Burlington Pumpkin Pitch & Harvest Festival

From Burlington Pumpkin Pitch & Harvest Festival Website:

Free family festival Last Saturday in September

Picture this... medieval-looking machines hurling pumpkins through the air, zucchini car races, pumpkin painting, pie eating challenges and pony rides just to name a few and it's all free. That's right, free family fun for all ages at the annual Burlington Pumpkin Pitch & Harvest Festival.

Every last Saturday in September, the City of Burlington and their Parks & Recreation department creates a community event to remember.

Touch base with the Pumpkin Pitch Facebook event page for updates on the trebuchets, the teams and all the festivities.

The Pumpkin Pitch began in 2002 as a way to bring the community together and to celebrate fall in a most unique way. Burlington is a spectacular place to bring your family for fun. You'll find something for everyone at this event. See you at Skagit River Park in Burlington in September.
