Pumpkin Regatta
For pumpkin regattas, enormous pumpkins are grown, and participants then float in these pumpkins. The pumpkins are meticulously prepared for the competition: they remove the flesh and seeds, and cover them with a sealant, then they are tested on the water. On such a raft, athletes have to swim 800 meters. It’s worth noting that this task is quite challenging, as pumpkins are nearly uncontrollable on the water.
