Grab a partner and join us for our Pumpkinfest Adult-Child Cornhole Tournament! This will be a round-robin tournament that will be played outdoors on Main Street in downtown Zeeland during the City of Zeeland’s “Pumpkinfest” event. Each team will play every other team in the tournament one time. The team with the best win-loss record at the end of the tournament wins a trophy + gift card to a local restaurant! The children will compete against each other on one side while the adults will compete against each other on the opposite board. Participants should sign up as a team.

Whether you are interested in being in the parade or just spectating, we want YOU! Mark your calendars today for October 3, 2025! This is one you won't want to miss!
