The Pennsylvania Town That Transforms Into A Pumpkin Wonderland Every Fall

Every year when fall rolls around, our calendar just gets more and more stuffed. After all, there is so much to do - from local farm visits to leaf peeping - that we want to savor every sweet moment of a season that goes by way too fast. If you can squeeze it in, make sure you also visit this pumpkin wonderland in Pennsylvania. Unfortunately, it, like autumn, is fleeing and lasts a mere three days.

As the gleeful shrieks of summer slowly fade away, autumn takes over at Conneaut Lake Park with colorful trees and an epic annual festival.

Boasting three days of fun for the whole family, the 31st Annual Fall Pumpkin Fest is set for October 14-16, 2022.

The hours are Friday from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Billed as one of the largest fall festivals in Northwestern Pennsylvania, Fall Pumpkin Fest promises fun for visitors of all ages. Admission and parking are $5 each. Kiddos younger than 12 get in for free.

A select number of rides will be open. If you thought it was fun during summer, wait until you go on an autumn ride.

The festival will also feature an assortment of vendors selling all of your favorite festival and seasonal foods.

Live entertainment will also include some pretty unique events, like the epic pumpkin smash.

Bring some cash, too, because you'll definitely want to check out the many craft and other vendors dotting the park.

Before you head over to the festival on Saturday, make your way to downtown Conneaut Lake for the annual Fall Pumpkin Fest Parade. Festivities kick off at 10 a.m.
