Pumpkin Palooza/Festival for Warren-area residents

Looking for something fun yet inexpensive to do with the family this weekend? I've got just the thing for you!



Frerichs Farm's Annual Pumpkin Palooza/Festival is this Saturday, October 9th from 9am - 5pm.

Admission is absolutely FREE! But if you want to park your car on their premises, it'll cost you $5, so I suggest parking down the street and enjoy the short stroll to the farm.


There will be a pumpkin drop at 11:30am and a weigh-off starting at noon. Since 2000 Frerichs Farm has hosted the Southern New England Giant Pumpkin Grower’s Annual Weigh-off on Columbus Day Weekend. 

Food and beverages will be available for purchase, and here are some other activities available to peruse while there!

Play in the Hay!

Free
After years of feeling bad whenever we had to tell the children they couldn't play in our stacks of hay, we've figure out a way for them to climb all around in it and go crazy. They can even try to find the "needle" in the hay stack!
