Activities

Nearly fifty artisans, producers and mobile kitchens will occupy the kiosks at Place de l’artisan. Apples will be there, as will fall decorations and craft products – a great opportunity to encourage local purchasing.

The official weigh-in will be at 2 p.m. Once again this year, the results will be registered with the Great Pumpkin Commonwealth, an international organization that ensures fairness and camaraderie between different competition sites.
