The Sinkland Farms Annual Pumpkin Festival runs through November 1st. Visiting the farm’s picture-perfect, rolling fields is an annual family tradition for many Southwest Virginia families, which offers fun and activities for all ages. If you have not yet been this season, there is still plenty of time, and we have 4 tickets to give away for a lucky subscriber this week!
The kids will love visiting the farm animals, meeting a live scarecrow and the 10-foot tall Pumpkin Head Tron. There are also activities in the Kidz Zone. Your family can enjoy the wagon ride to the patch to pick your GREAT pumpkin, and other activities include a 5-acre corn maze, pony rides, horseback trail rides, and a Giant Slide enticing to all ages. The Zip Line for Kids, Bad Axe throwing station, and pig sprints are back this year for all to enjoy every Saturday and Sunday.
Setting itself apart from other pumpkin patches, Sinkland Farms makes sure to gear farm fun to adults of all ages. Tastings of Virginia wines and craft beer from the farm are available each day, along with a packed schedule of live music. We boast two stages for twelve days featuring twenty-four live music shows, all included with admission to the festival. Chainsaw carving, corn shelling, blacksmith, and lasso exhibitions are among the multitude of arts and crafts vendors. Featured local artists visit every weekend to display and demonstrate their craft. You'll find many opportunities for family photographs on this picturesque farm!
Admission to the farm includes parking, live music, demonstrations, roaming entertainment, the farmyard animal barn, a hayride, corn maze, arts & crafts vendor lane, plus extra attractions that change each weekend. See the complete schedule here.
