Circleville Pumpkin Show
Circleville
Held annually since 1903, the four-day event transforms downtown Circleville with parades, rides, contests and pumpkin-themed fun. The 2025 show featured a 1,972-pound pumpkin from Mike and Dusti Helberg, continuing a long legacy of giant gourd weigh-ins. Visitors can enjoy pageants like the Miss and Little Miss Pumpkin Shows, along with multiple parades through the festival, including one made up of bands on Thursday.
