Some traditions are built to last — and the Free Bean Dinner is one of the most anticipated moments of Pumpkin Run Nationals. Held on Saturday evening, this open-air gathering brings everyone together for a warm bowl of homemade beans, live music, and the simple joy of sharing a meal with fellow car lovers and friends.

Key Features:

  • Free for All Attendees: No wristband required — this dinner is a gift to the community. Whether you’re showing a car or just stopping by, everyone is welcome at the table.
  • Authentic & Homemade: Prepared in massive kettles by volunteers who’ve been part of this tradition for decades, the beans are slow-cooked with care and local flavor.
  • Live Music Performance: A featured local band takes the stage as the sun sets, adding rhythm and soul to the evening atmosphere.
  • Community Vibes: It’s more than just dinner — it’s a time to relax, connect, and celebrate the weekend’s stories over food, laughter, and music.
  • Longstanding Legacy: The bean dinner has been a part of Pumpkin Run Nationals for generations, representing the hospitality and heart of the Fastiques Rod & Custom Club.
  • Family-Friendly Environment: Bring your kids, bring your crew, bring your appetite. The dinner area is full of conversation, connection, and kindness.

This isn’t just about beans — it’s about breaking bread with your fellow enthusiasts under the open sky. Join us Saturday night and taste the soul of Pumpkin Run.
