Heat to Stillwater Harvest Fest for giant pumpkins, fall activities for both adults and kids and fun for everyone!

Stillwater MN Pumpkin Weight Off

The Stillwater Harvest Fest is this weekend, October 8 and 9. It’s an entirely volunteer-run event with lots of family fun! Hours are 10 am – 6 pm on both Saturday and Sunday.

The big draw is the Giant Pumpkin Weigh-Off which happens on Saturday. In 2010 they had a World Record pumpkin, and each year since they have broken a Minnesota or Wisconsin state record. These pumpkins are seriously HUGE!

What comes next is even more exciting. They drop some of those pumpkins smashing to the ground from a 100 foot crane!

Get lined up ahead of time to get a great view of the smashing area, or head toward the back of the crowd and you’ll take in the drop without someone standing in front of you.

  • Giant Pumpkin Weigh Off

  • Pumpkin Regatta
  • Live Music

  • Chili Cook Off
  • Vendor Market

Stillwater Lift Bridge

While you’re in Stillwater, take some time to walk through their historic downtown. You can grab some ice cream (always our #1 stop) and walk along the river.
