About Stillwater Harvest Fest

Stillwater Harvest Fest, held the second weekend of October each year, is one of the premier events in downtown Stillwater and one of the largest of its kind in the Midwest. Several times, Stillwater Harvest Fest was the number one giant pumpkin weigh off in the world. That is determined by the combined weight of the Top 10 pumpkins brought to the scale. In 2010 we had a World Record pumpkin.

Highlights of Harvest Fest:

Giant Pumpkin Weigh Off
Pumpkin Drop from 100' crane
Pumpkin Regatta
Live Music
Beer & Wine Garden
Chili Cook Off
Vendor Market
Kid's Activities
