The Details:

Pittsburgh's Monster Pumpkins Festival is a signature fall event, drawing tens of thousands of spectators over two days of giant pumpkin fun. It features Mother Nature’s most vivacious, outrageous, humongous fruits, transforming the venue into a stupendous sea of orange. The festival promises memorable and magical moments, showcasing world-famous ATLANTIC GIANTS, a prodigious breed of pumpkins weighing well over 2,500 pounds. A highlight is the world-famous Pumpkin Drop, a spectacular event where one-ton pumpkins are dramatically dropped from over 200 feet high. The event, dubbed "The Greatest Growth on Earth," celebrates these fascinatingly large and heavy cucurbits, making visitors do double takes all day long.
