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!
