Here in Ohio, we don't just celebrate fall. We Celebrate Fall. We go big. Huge. Like, 1,800-pound pumpkin huge. Each fall, the Circleville Pumpkin Show puts on the greatest fall festival in the country, inviting fall fans from far and wide to ogle massive pumpkins, enjoy award-winning pumpkin pie, and engage in the most epic fall shenanigans imaginable. This is *the* fall festival to end all fall festivals, and it happens right here, in the heart of Ohio. Save the dates for October 19 - 22, 2022!
You know those so-called "pumpkin" festivals? Circleville Pumpkin Show puts them to shame.
Because really, can you even call yourself a "pumpkin festival" if you don't need heavy machinery to transport your pumpkins?
Or lay claim to having the largest pumpkin pie in the world?
The one fall festival that can make these bold claims is the Circleville Pumpkin Show, *the* only-in-Ohio fall festival to end all fall festivals.
Each year, the streets of this little locale are transformed into the ultimate pumpkin playground, complete with 1,800-pound gourds, city-wide parades, epic contests, and pumpkin-spiced everything.
Yes, this fall festival has an assortment of pumpkin pies and pumpkin spiced donuts, but those are expected. What about pumpkin burgers, pumpkin sloppy joes, pumpkin pizzas, and pumpkin chili? Now we're talking.
Other pumpkin-themed festivities at this fall festival include a curated art exhibit that's an homage to the orange gourd...
