Pumpkin regatta

Teams of four paddle giant, hollowed-out pumpkins in a 100-metre relay race on the water. The event takes place at leisure resort Ark van Noë in Lichtaart.

Besides the madcap race there's entertainment all day long, such as pumpkin games for children, and you can enjoy pumpkin beer and pumpkin soup. Spectators get in free, though a small parking contribution of € 5 per car is asked.

Fancy taking part with a team of your own? Then be quick when registration opens (traditionally in September), because every year the spots are filled within minutes.
