The Great Pumpkin Parade is held at noon on the Saturday of the Art and Pumpkin Festival. It heads east along Miramontes Street, north on Main Street and west on Mill Street.
The star of the parade is the weigh-off champion pumpkin, which rides along with marching bands, classic cars and costumed children of all ages. In 2004 a 1,229-pound pumpkin sat at the south end of Main Street and was paraded through town.
Other festival entertainment includes a costume contest, pumpkin carving, games and pie-eating, with three music stages. Dozens of local nonprofit groups run the food and game booths.
