Pumpkin Boat Race Held in Belgium

In the northern Belgian town of Kasterlee, the annual pumpkin boat race took place. Participants carve enormous pumpkins weighing up to 400 kilograms, turning them into makeshift boats and racing down the river. The quirky competition has become one of autumn’s funniest and most colorful traditions.

The event’s goal is to bring people together, celebrate the fall season with joy, and promote pumpkin growing. It combines sport, humor, and tourism, creating a cheerful atmosphere for family fun.
