Find This 30-Foot Tall Giant Maine Pumpkin Before the Damariscotta Pumpkinfest & Regatta

Guys, we have been given a mission. 

There is a 30-foot-tall pumpkin somewhere in Maine, and apparently we’re supposed to find it before the Damariscotta Pumpkinfest and Regatta kicks off.

Yes, you read that correctly. Thirty feet. This is not a cute little porch pumpkin you could accidentally miss while driving by. 

Find This 30-Foot Tall Giant Maine Pumpkin Before the Damariscotta Pumpkinfest and Regatta

Okay, Maine, we have been given a mission.

There is a 30-foot-tall pumpkin somewhere in Maine, and apparently we’re supposed to find it before the Damariscotta Pumpkinfest and Regatta kicks off. Yes, you read that correctly. Thirty feet. This is not a cute little porch pumpkin you could accidentally miss while driving by.

The Damariscotta Pumpkinfest shared a photo of the giant pumpkin on Facebook, challenging people to track it down. And now, naturally, I need to know where this thing is RIGHT AWAY!

Because if someone tells me there is a 30-foot pumpkin hiding somewhere in Maine, I am going to treat this like a low-stakes version of National Treasure. And yes, I will be Nicolas Cage.

The giant pumpkin is part of the buildup to the Damariscotta Pumpkinfest and Regatta, one of Maine’s most wonderfully weird fall traditions.

And if you’ve never been, giant pumpkins are literally the whole point.

We’re talking pumpkins so enormous they require forklifts, tractors and an alarming amount of human effort just to move them around.

Then, because Maine apparently looked at giant pumpkins and thought, “You know what this needs...Boats,” the festival culminates in the famous Pumpkin Regatta!

But first… we have a 30-foot pumpkin to find guys!

So start looking. Check the photo. Zoom in.

Ask your bestie who somehow recognizes every random roadside attraction in Maine. You know who.

And if you find it before the rest of us, please tell me.

Because I have questions.
