For my family, a trip to Lockwood Park is always on our fall fun to-do list. We love the animals and the down-home Harvest feel we get when we're there. My kids love picking their own pumpkins and taking several rides around the pony ring.

A few years back Locktoberfest happened every weekend in October at Lockwood Park, but now all the fun is packed into one big weekend called Pumpkin Fest, and guess what? The Pumpkin Fest fun is getting even bigger this year!

Lockwood Park announced yesterday that local food trucks and a new vendor market will be happening this October during Pumpkin Fest...

 

Besides the food trucks and On the Farm Market, Pumpkin Fest will feature:

  • Pony ring rides
  • Trail rides
  • Pick your own pumpkins
  • Feeding and petting animals in the Children's Farm
  • S'mores
