The Barnesville Pumpkin Festival returned again in 2021 better than ever! We had a record breaking King Pumpkin weighing in at 2,195 lbs, which sold for $8,500, lots of great food and contests, over 400 cars in the car show and a giant pumpkin parade. A special thank you goes to all those that attended the 2021 Festival and to Belmont Classic Cars for the purchase of the King Pumpkin to support the Festival.

We look forward to another great festival this year with a terrific lineup of entertainment and even more record-setting events. See you in September!
