This festival celebrates the sport of chuckin' pumpkins for distance, using a do-it-yourself constructed trebuchet, a gravity-powered catapult.
The event is a cross between a Soap Box Derby competition involving amateur building skills and a shot put contest.
This is a great opportunity for kids and adults to design and build something and engage in some family-friendly competition.
The festival is a one-day event on Sunday, September 29th, 2024 that benefits the Clarina Howard Nichols Center which works to end domestic and sexual violence in Lamoille Country.
The festival runs from 11am to 4pm and features 3 rounds of chuckin' at 12:30pm, 1:30pm, and 2:20pm, with awards short after the last round.
No dogs, outside food or beverages are allowed at the event.
Admission to the festival is $10 and parking is free.
Admission is free to 5 years and younger.
Handicap parking is available, but no seating is provided.
