Press Release

The Circleville Pumpkin Show will take place on October 20 thru October 23rd, 2021 with a preview beginning on Tuesday, October 19th from 5 PM to 10 PM. However, there are selective cancellations within the Pumpkin Show. The Circleville Noon Rotary Club which sponsors The Big Wheel Race has decided due to Covid concerns and for the safety of their volunteers, the children and parents to cancel the contest this year. In addition, the trustees and volunteers for the Home Arts & Crafts Department and the Flower Show have decided to cancel their entries and exhibits.

All other exhibits will be accepting entries on their individual published schedules as shown in the Rules and Regulations for Pumpkin Show Exhibitors. While most of the Circleville Pumpkin Show is an outside event, we do encourage those who attend to do so understanding that it will be up to them to practice appropriate social distancing and wear masks if they so desire to do so. The inside Circleville Pumpkin Show exhibits will encourage masks for our visitors who wish to look at the various exhibits.

We invite you to join us for "The Greatest Free Show on Earth" the 114th Circleville Pumpkin Show.
