Each year, local Maine artists more than meet the challenge of decorating dozens of “Atlantic Giant” pumpkins that are displayed in downtown Damariscotta & Newcastle during Damariscotta Pumpkinfest & Regatta™.
Each pumpkin comes with a story about our tight-knit community - the grower who brought it to us, the business that helped sponsor the festival, and the artist who brings it to creative life. This information can be found on each pumpkin’s display card. We also provide all this information in a printable Pumpkin Guide. https://www.mainepumpkinfest.com/
