The mighty watermelon—summer’s favorite fruit (and vegetable, too)—gets a grand salute at The 54th Annual Watermelon Festival. This juicy celebration features a hand-, mouth-, and eyeful of unique contests, festivities, and fun for families and melon-mavens alike. Here are just a few of the highlights

  • Best Place to Be: The Watermelon Pavilion, where you can fetch a big slice of chilled melon, check out the ingenious invention of the Melon-o-Matic (it cuts up to 60 slices per minute!), and catch action-packed contests
  • Best Messy Contests: Go face first into a watermelon eating contest, use your mouth-musket to shoot baby melons across the Watermelon Spitway in a seed-spitting contest, or partake in a splatter-heavy watermelon relay
  • Best Contest for Fashionistas: Prove that you’re the Christian Dior of gourds in a wearable art contest in which melons are all the rage
  • Best Activities for Thrill Seekers: Take to the skies in Euro Bungy flights and zip-lines, conquer a rock-climbing wall (featuring friendly trainers for first-timers), or prepare for your career as a mechanical cowboy by riding the mechanical bull
  • Best Mellow Activities: Observe the action from a 65-foot ferris wheel at the carnival, or take the wee ones for pony rides, petting zoo cuteness, and felty storytelling from the Melo-n-dramatic Puppet Theater
