It may seem a little odd at first glance—giant pumpkins floating in a lake. Yet that’s exactly what makes the Ginormous Pumpkin Regatta a one‑of‑a‑kind sight. Each October, dozens of giant pumpkins set sail on Daybreak’s Oquirrh Lake to welcome fall with a whole lot of fun. So, mark your calendar and join us on the North Shore.
