Butler's Orchard Pumpkin Festival 2026

Butler's Orchard Pumpkin Festival 2026

Butler's runs its Pumpkin Festival Wednesday through Sunday from September 19 to November 1. Admission gets you into the farm park, and the pumpkin field is pick your own, so kids walk out and choose their own instead of picking one off a pallet. The rest of it is the usual farm park setup done well: hayrides out to the field, jump pads, a playground, a corn maze, the hayloft, and live music on weekends.

Weekday hours are 1pm to 6pm and weekends are 9am to 6pm, with last entry at 4:30pm either way. If you can swing a Wednesday or Thursday afternoon, do it. Weekend mornings in October are the busiest hours of the entire season here and the parking field backs up onto Davis Mill Road. Late September is the sweet spot: pumpkins are out, the crowd has not arrived yet, and it is still warm.

Parent Tips 💡

• ✓Go on a weekday afternoon if you can. Wednesday and Thursday from 1pm are quiet. October weekend mornings are the opposite.
• ✓Bring a wagon, not a stroller. You will be hauling pumpkins back across a field. Big wheels beat small ones every time.
• ✓Late September beats late October. Same pumpkins, a fraction of the crowd, and the corn maze is easier to enjoy without a line.
• ✓Last entry is 4:30pm, not 6pm. People get caught by this. Arrive by 3:30 at the latest to have a real visit.
• ✓Check the website before you drive out. They close for weather and sometimes hit capacity on peak weekends.
