Begin family traditions at the best place for all things fall.
Great Pumpkin Farm Fall Festival
The Great Pumpkin Farm Fall Festival is a celebration of the autumnal season and all that it has to offer. Housed at the Great Pumpkin Farm, seasonal traditions date back to 1996 when the farm hosted the World Pumpkin Weigh-Off and secured the title of the first 1,000 pound pumpkin. Since this world record, the Great Pumpkin Farm has fine-tuned it’s focus to providing the ultimate family experience and engraining itself into the traditions of many. The Fall Festival serves as a community based way to celebrate the harvest of blessings that have been provided to the farm and the surrounding area.

Festival attractions are open from 10am until dusk everyday. Weekdays are free, while festival weekends have an admission fee. While enjoying the open space of the farm, guests can enjoy a magic show, petting zoo, and amusement rides.

In the fashion of Halloween, the farm has its own Boo Barn, as well as a Witches Brew Bar and Cafe.
