On Sunday, October 19, the City of Tualatin will host the West Coast Giant Pumpkin Regatta held at the Tualatin Lake of the Commons. The Pumpkin Regatta includes activities for the entire family, entertainment, and food. The main event is the costumed characters paddling giant pumpkins across the lake in a series of wacky races.

The Regatta accepts applications from artisans selling unique hand crafted fall/harvest inspired items. Examples would be hand blown glass pumpkins, ceramics, and other visual art mediums.

Deadline to submit is 5:00pm, September 12, 2025. Submissions made after this date will be placed on a waiting list and will be given an opportunity to participate if another vendor cancels.

There are a very limited number of artisan vendor spaces available at the Pumpkin Regatta and applications accepted are by invitation only. Notification of acceptance will be emailed by September 20. Once accepted the $150 vendor fee is due by October 6, 2025.
