West Coast Giant Pumpkin Regatta
Just when you think you’ve seen everything, you realize you’ve been missing the West Coast Giant Pumpkin Regatta since 2004. This cherished local event returns to the Tualatin Commons every October with a series of races consisting of costumed racers piloting a gaggle of gigantic pumpkins on Tualatin Commons lake.
On dry land, the 5K Regatta Run, a costume contest, face painting, pumpkin bowling, crafts, entertainment, 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.
