This Pumpkin Regatta takes place every Thanksgiving Sunday (that's the 2nd weekend in October - earlier than U.S. Thanksgiving). I'll be joining about 10,000 people in downtown Windsor this weekend to watch up to 100 giant pumpkins parade through town then enthusiastically compete against each other in a paddle across the lake. Check out this episode of our Bay of Fundy Travel Show that we filmed at the race last year.
When you visit Windsor any time of year drop by Howard Dill's Pumpkin Farm: Howard is the world winning pumpkin grower who really put Windsor on the map and the family farm (source of all the giant pumpkin boats) is a delight to visit.

Hi Terri
It was indeed quite an affair.
I wonder if the Windsor Waterfront, aka Lake Pisiquid, aka Avon River would still be considered part of the Bay with the causeway blocking the tides?
Just a thought.
I enjoy your site and visit it regularly, as I do both the Minas Basin and the Bay.
Thanks,
Randy
Amazing that a pumpkin could grow big enough to be a boat !! [
