Fall Festivals & Attractions
Marana Pumpkin Patch & Farm Festival - (2024 dates coming soon!)
The Marana Pumpkin Patch & Farm Festival is located on a real family farm, full of farm sounds, sights, tastes, and the smell of growing corn and dried straw! Hunt for the perfect pumpkin and have hours of family fun on more than 50 acres of attractions, including a petting zoo, corn mazes, rides for the kids, and of course, the pumpkin patch!
As pumpkin time approaches, come out and experience the fun yourself. Pick a path and get lost in two unique corn mazes! Sort through the pumpkin patch and find a one-of-a-kind pumpkin to take home! Work up an appetite jumping on huge jumping pillows, and then fill up with great festive food like hot dogs, hamburgers, pizza, nachos and pretzels! Visit the petting zoo with ponies, miniature donkeys, goats and more! After a day of excitement, you’ll leave the festival happy and won’t want to miss the fun next weekend!
Also, make sure to come back in December for the Marana Christmas Express!
