Fall has arrived in Cannon Beach, and that means it’s time for one of our favorite Driftwood traditions—the Annual Pumpkin Carving Contest! From October 18th through the 30th, our deck will transform into a festive carving space filled with laughter, creativity, and plenty of pumpkins!
Guests 21 and older are invited to join in the fun—we’ll provide the pumpkins, you bring the inspiration! Carving is open daily on our outdoor deck, completely free and drop-in friendly, and well-behaved dogs are also welcome. Enjoy the crisp coastal air, a drink from the bar, and the warm glow of the firepit while you create your jack-o-lantern masterpiece.
Once your pumpkin is complete, our team will proudly display it for all to admire. Judging will take place on October 31st, with winners announced on Facebook. And don’t forget—your votes matter too! The pumpkin that receives the most likes on Facebook by midnight on October 30th will take home the coveted People’s Choice Award.
It’s a spirited way to celebrate the season, connect with the community, and get a little creative—Cannon Beach style. Whether you’re a seasoned sculptor or just in it for the fun, we can’t wait to see your designs light up the Driftwood deck.
Event Dates: October 18–30
Location: The Driftwood Restaurant & Lounge Deck, Cannon Beach
