    What are The Great Annapolis Pumpkins?

    The City of Annapolis is rolling out The Great Annapolis Pumpkins. These giant gourds have quickly grown into a must-see fall attraction, perfect for snapping photos and making memories. 

    Each October, the pumpkins are handpicked from a regional giant pumpkin weigh-off, with many hailing from Atlantic-region farms. Tipping the scales at over 1,000 pounds, they never fail to amaze. Visitors are often shocked to discover they’re real, because let’s be honest, most people have never stood next to a pumpkin this massive. Naturally, everyone wants a photo op, and the pumpkins light up social media feeds with plenty of shares, selfies, and videos. 

    Where are the Great Annapolis Pumpkins Located?

    Pumpkins are currently on display at the Visitor Center (26 West Street), Maryland Avenue (near 48 Maryland Avenue), Market Space, and MRE Mercantile (318 6th Street).
