Germantown · every September
Butler's Orchard Pumpkin Festival
Butler's Orchard on Davis Mill Road in Germantown has run its Pumpkin Festival for more than four decades, opening in late September and closing in early November, Wednesday through Sunday plus the Columbus Day holiday. Admission includes access to the pick-your-own pumpkin fields, where pumpkins are weighed and paid for at checkout, along with hayrides, a corn maze, a straw maze, a corn pool, giant slides, jump pads, pedal tractors, a playground, and live music. Weekend days sell out, so the farm strongly encourages reservations ahead of time.
Dates for the next edition are usually announced closer to September. Until then, see what's on this weekend in Washington DC.
