Annual Pumpkin Roll
Participants select a pumpkin and roll it down the hill along Ocean Avenue to see how it rolls and watch it smash. The rolling course is bordered with hay bales and fencing to guide the pumpkins and provide viewing areas for onlookers. The gathering offers a lighthearted community tradition open to participants and spectators alike.
