Thanks for another great Pumpkin Patch Fall Festival! This year’s event was a fantastic success thanks to our sponsors, board, volunteers, exhibitors, vendors, and guests. See you next year!
Mark your calendars and plan to join us for our annual Pumpkin Patch Fall Festival. We’ll have plenty of pumpkins, fun festival games, crafts and activities, scrumptious foods, family photo ops, meet the animals, and more! Outside exhibitors and vendors will also be on hand with everything from live animals and biofacts to examine to decorated pumpkin centerpieces, lemonade, and goat milk ice pops for sale.
Admission is FREE. Games and activities, concessions, pumpkins, etc. all have a cost. Pumpkin Passes (cards with mark off tickets) will be sold for cash or credit at ticket tents at the north and south ends of the park. They are good for games and activities and our own concession stands (popcorn, drinks, clementines, chips, etc.). The pumpkin sales tent and all outside food vendors will take cash or credit.
With the support of Pumpkin Sponsor H-E-B, we’ll have over 12,000 pounds of pumpkins this year, including heirloom varieties! But please note that we only sell pumpkins during our fall festival weekend, October 16 and 17.
New this year! We’ll have no-carve pumpkin decorating kits you can purchase to decorate your pumpkins at home.
