Zucchini 500 Drag Race

Ellington Farmers Market: Zucchini 500 Drag Race! 🥒🏁

Start your engines—it’s time for one of the silliest, speediest Saturdays of the season! Join us Saturday, August 2nd from 9 AM to 12 PM at the Ellington Farmers Market (72 Maple Street) for our annual Zucchini 500 Drag Race, where veggie-fueled dreams hit the fast lane.

The race begins promptly at 10:30 AM. If your zucchini is ready to roll, be sure to arrive by 10 AM 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 encouraged!

This all-ages event is a crowd favorite, so bring your creativity and your cheering voice. Whether you’re racing or spectating, there’s plenty to enjoy:

* Free live music all morning
* Tacos and more from No Coast Taqueria
* Farm-fresh produce, baked goods, handmade gifts, and more from your favorite local vendors

SNAP and WIC/Senior FMNP benefits are doubled every Saturday at the market.

Bring the whole family for a fun, unforgettable morning of zucchini zooming and community connection. We can't wait to see what your veggie racers can do!
