Traditionally held the third weekend of August, the Vermont State Zucchini Festival is a one-of-a-kind New England event you have to see to believe.

Spectators prepare for the start of the Zucchini Festival's zukapult competition. The winner is determined based on the total of three zucchini tosses. As you might imagine, the color commentary provided by the crowd was immensely entertaining.
