This cherished local event returns to the Tualatin Commons every October with a series of races. The series is exactly what it sounds like, consisting of costumed racers piloting a gaggle of gigantic gourds through a watercourse on Tualatin Commons Lake.

On dry land, a costume contest, face painting, pumpkin bowling, and pumpkin golf will keep the laughs coming at this free, family-friendly event. Located just 13 miles (21 km) southwest of downtown Portland, Tualatin is a great starting point for an autumn adventure.

The West Coast Giant Pumpkin Regatta weekend is happening October 15 & 16, 2022!

There is just too much pumpkin fun to squeeze it all into one day so we will be taking over the entire weekend!
