Perth's David Penfold takes home crown for biggest pumpkin at Dwellingup festival

His impressive pumpkin weighed a massive 268.6 kilograms, crowning him the 2019 winner.

The prized produce doesn't quite compare to the record that was smashed last year by Robert Giumelli with his winning 361kg pumpkin, but still excited crowds.

Lou Vergone came in second place while Judith Giumelli, who took home the silver medal last year, and Kobe Cocivera tied for third place.

Up to 15,000 people are estimated to have made the drive out east for the annual event over the Easter long weekend to check out all of the action and prized produce on display.

Now a favourite on West Australian's calendars, the Dwellingup Primary School P&C fundraiser has been running for more than 20 years and proved more popular than ever in 2019.

Families enjoyed an exciting day of live music, entertainment, circus acts, mini golf, laser tag, face painting, pony rides and, of course, huge pumpkins.

There was plenty of local produce on offer with pumpkin soup and scones available for purchase and more than 100 market stalls selling precious trinkets and goodies.

In a statement on Facebook, organiser Warren Haugh said it was another outstanding event.

The Dwellingup Primary School P&C is amazed each year at the crowd that comes to Dwellingup to enjoy the festival with us," he said.

"It is the culmination of eight months of planning and each year we hope that we are finding ways to improve the event for everyone."

Mr Haugh thanked the festival's sponsors, entertainers, stallholders and volunteers but left the biggest thank you to the thousands of attendees who made the trip east for the annual event.

"You all make the festival what we hope it is - an affordable, family friendly fun day out for everyone," he said.

"Remember this event for next year, and don't be a stranger to Dwellingup until then!"
