Pumpkin regatta
On Sunday October 26th, the 16th edition of the Pumpkin Regatta in Kasterlee (domain Ark Van Noë) was organized. 114 teams concoured the cold water and tried to get a clumsy pumpkin moving using paddles.
Prizes awarded were for the top three time, but also the best-dressed team was honored.
You can find many photos of this successful edition over here (also check the ones of Paul Van Pelt):
90 teams attented our yearly Pumpkin regatta. Domain Ark Van Noë full of “pumpkin” atmosphere: pumpkin regatta, pumpkin figures, pumpkin games, pumpkin curling, pumpkin carving, pumpkin soup and pumpkin beer.
We’re already looking forward to our 2024 edition.
In the meantime, enjoy the photos of 2023.
Pumpkin Curling, Pumpkin Games, Pumpkin Carving, Pumpkin Beer, Pumpkin Soup, Pumpkin Scenes, Pumpkin Music and then we also had pumpkin regatta. The Pumpkin Regatta has become an experience day for young and old. And this was also the case on 23 October 2022. On the “Ark Van Noë” we managed to attract a lot of curious people.
In any case, we look back on a successful edition. And the press apparently could not get enough of it either: from a few local stations to a Flemish broadcaster to the press in Spain.
On to 2023.
Pictures of the individual teams (who attended the Pumpkin race) can be found over here.

Pumpkin Regatta 2020 (Sunday October 25th): Edition 2020 has been canceled due to COVID-19. We hope to see you again in 2021!

For the 10th time on a row, the Pumpkinregatta was organized together with “Kastelse Kayak Klub”. It was a big succes, as visitors can see more than only the regatta, as it became a family day the last few years (with Pumpkin games for children and their parents, Pumpkin figures, etc…)
