Pumpkinfest 2025

Join us for Pumpkinfest 2025 and come out for a weekend-long event in honor of everyone’s favorite fall gourd on Saturday and Sunday, October 25–26!

Pick out the perfect pumpkin from our patch to decorate for Halloween or place on your porch. Get a little competitive in the pumpkin toss to win prizes, or join the pie walk for a chance to snag a tasty pie. Peruse local vendors and take home a lovely craft or handmade gift. Have lunch with our seasonal menu, including pumpkin milkshakes, hot apple cider and coffee, tasty pizza and sandwiches, and more!

Fall is full of fun family adventures! Check out our guides to fall festivals in Central Virginia, pumpkin patches and corn mazes, and the best apple-picking spots. After all that farm fun be sure to check out our family recipe collection for some yummy fall treats, including a pear witch.
