The Ridgefield Historical Society will be joining the fun at Ridgefield’s 13th Annual Giant Pumpkin Weigh Off Festival on Sunday, September 28, 2025 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in Ballard Park on Main Street. This free, family-friendly celebration draws thousands of visitors each year to watch pumpkin growers from across New England and the mid-Atlantic compete for the title of heaviest pumpkin, last year’s champion tipped the scales at over 2,000 pounds! The pumpkins will be weighed at noon, and the day will be filled with music, farm stands, vendors, food trucks, children’s activities, and more. Be sure to visit the Ridgefield Historical Society’s harvest-themed booth for seasonal fun, unique merchandise, and fascinating stories that bring Ridgefield’s rich history to life.
