Like last year, I will use this thread to try and compile as complete of a listing of the various hurling events (not limited to pumpkin-throwing, though that does seem to be the vast majority) that are occurring. As you hear of other ones with confirmed dates, and preferably a website link too, let me know and I'll add them here to make them easy to find!
