What do you get when you put wheels on a zucchini? A silly Zucchini Car, that’s what! The popular Zucchini 500 race is back and full of silly fun for all ages.

Car kits and on-site registration will be available at market starting this Sunday July 7th!

Prize draws held for all participants. “Winner” receives bragging rights and a turn with the coveted Zucchini 500 Champion Belt! As a silly race, we remind our participants that this is not a competitive race.

Here is a sweet video created for us by Jake Hawley Visuals in 2016.

Races have reached capacity some years, so please register early to guarantee a spot. Thank you to Loyalist Area Scouts and Kingston Community Credit Union for their support making this event possible!
