The Tuscola County Pumpkin Festival is an annual event held the first Thursday through Sunday in October.

It started in 1981 by a small group of local residents. The four-day festival attracts approximately 50,000 visitors.

Pumpkins are grown by local farmers and given to school age children to paint and decorate and return for display on the Tuscola County Courthouse lawn.

The fair is full of great events like Pumpkin Pie Eating Contest, Hometown Idol, Pumpkin Derby, Children’s Biathlon, Face Painting, Strut with a Mutt, Parades and lot of opportunities to buy Pumpkin Pies!
