The "King" Pumpkin in 2024 was grown by Lee & Derrik Zappa of Mercer, PA. Weighing in at 2,196 lbs. and sold for a whopping $13,000! At the Barnesville Pumpkin Festival you'll find lots of great food, contests, music, a GIANT parade and a car show that often has over 500 entries at the Festival. A special thank you goes to all those that attended the 2024 Festival and to the Buyers of the 2024 King Pumpkin! Join us, next year, September 25-28, 2025 for the 61st Annual Barnesville Pumpkin Festival!

We look forward to another great festival this year with a terrific lineup of entertainment and even more record-setting events. See you in September!
