Racers - start your engines! It's time for one of the silliest, speediest Saturdays of the season!
Join us on Saturday, August 1st from 9am to noon at Market Park, 72 Maple St in Ellington for our annual Zucchini 500 Drag Race, where veggie-fueled dreams hit the fast lane.
The race begins promptly at 10:30am. If your zucchini is ready to roll, be sure to arrive by 10am to register and pass inspection. Racers must be pre-registered, and all zucchini cars must fit our 6.5-inch-wide track. Wheels, decorations, and wild ideas are strongly encouraged!
This all-ages event is a true crowd favorite, so bring your creativity and your loudest cheering voice. Whether you're racing or spectating, there is plenty to enjoy - free live music all morning long, farm fresh produce, baked goods, handmade gifts, and everything else you love from our incredible local vendors.
As always, we are proudly doubling SNAP and FMNP benefits at the market booth.
Bring the whole family for a fun, unforgettable morning of zucchini zooming and community connection. We cannot wait to see what your veggie racers can do!
