2025 Pumpkin Festival
September 25th -
November 2nd
Our annual Pumpkin Festival is truly something to write home about! We are celebrating our 34th anniversary during the 2025 season and are making sure this will be a year to remember. Attracting folks from miles around, we bring out the best of the farm during our traditional pumpkin harvest. While our pumpkin patch is the star of the show, we offer six weekends jam-packed with activities, music, food, and fun you won’t want to miss.

Enjoy fall festivities at Sinkland and our Pumpkin Festival unlike any other! Listen to live music, explore local vendors, or tour our grounds on horseback (or ponyback!). Even the pickiest eaters will find something to sink their teeth into. Taste authentic southern barbeque, kettle corn, hand-dipped ice cream, and more. Grown-ups will enjoy a sampling of local beer and wine. Finding a one-of-a-kind souvenir is simple, but getting out of the corn maze is no easy feat!

Let your young learners create the kind of lasting memories only our pumpkins, farm fields, hayrides, and farm animals can provide. Children learn by doing and immersing themselves in the day-to-day wonders of a working farm. Students gain knowledge and develop skills a traditional classroom setting just can’t provide. We incorporate Virginia Standards of Learning into all field trips. So, bring your class, club, troop, and friends!
