Estancia Punkin Chunkin 30th Annual

Rotary Road Trip: Estancia Pumpkin Chunkin'

You haven't truly experienced autumn in New Mexico until you've seen a Punkin Chunkin!

Join fellow Rotarians for a fun-filled day in Estancia as we support the Rotary Club of Estancia's 30th Annual Punkin Chunkin', one of the community's most unique fall traditions. Be there in time for the morning parade before heading to the Punkin Chunkin grounds just west of town, where specially designed trebuchets, catapults, and air cannons launch pumpkins incredible distances in a friendly competition.

Admission to the event supports the Estancia Rotary Club's High School Scholarship Program, making this a wonderful opportunity to enjoy a memorable day while supporting Rotary's commitment to education and youth.

While you're there, explore the local arts and crafts vendors, visit the nearby Manzano Mountain Retreat (RYLA Camp Site), and enjoy the festive atmosphere that draws visitors from across New Mexico.

Whether you're a first-time visitor or a Punkin Chunkin veteran, come experience one of the most entertaining Rotary events in our district!
