First organized in 1903 as a celebration of local agriculture, the gathering has long served as a centerpiece for the community. Organizer Jenny Rhoads described the event as being like Christmas for local residents. A primary agricultural highlight remains the giant pumpkin weigh-in, where Rhoads noted there is anticipation surrounding rumors that a competitor might achieve a state record.

Over the decades, the festival has expanded significantly, becoming widely recognized for its diverse array of pumpkin-infused food. Concessions throughout downtown Circleville feature both traditional items and unconventional recipes, including pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin chili, and classic pumpkin desserts, alongside pumpkin coney dogs, burgers, and tacos.

The influx of visitors also delivers a critical boost to local businesses. At Lindsey’s Bakery, co-owner Zachary Miller noted that the show serves as the shop’s biggest week on the calendar, generating roughly a quarter of its total business for the entire year.

To meet demand, Lindsey’s Bakery prepares and sells thousands of pumpkin donuts during each show. The bakery also maintains its tradition of crafting a massive pumpkin pie, a labor-intensive process that Miller said requires a couple of hours to assemble the crust, followed by six hours of baking and another six hours to cool.
