Fall festival season in Bucks County starts the second week of September and does not let up until the corn mazes come down in November. Here is the 2026 lineup, biggest first, with dates so you can actually plan a weekend around it.
The Big Fall Festivals in Bucks County
Shady Brook Farm Fall Fest (Yardley) runs September 11 through October 30, with a festival field of more than 25 attractions, a corn maze, live music, and the after-dark Eerie Illuminations light show. The lower Bucks giant of the season; details at shadybrookfarm.com.
Scarecrows in the Village at Peddler’s Village (Lahaska) fills the village with more than 150 handmade scarecrows from September 7 through October 26, with visitor voting and a full Scarecrow Festival weekend September 19-20 featuring workshops and pumpkin painting. Free to walk; details at peddlersvillage.com.
Hellerick’s Family Farm Fall Festival (Doylestown) runs September 11 through November 15 – the longest season in the county – with 18 acres of activities including a 5-acre corn maze and an aerial adventure course. Details at hellericksfarm.com.
Pumpkin Patches and Farm Weekends
Bountiful Acres Pumpkin Harvest Festival (Holicong/Buckingham) runs weekends September 26 through October 25: pumpkin picking, corn maze, hayrides, pedal cars, and train rides.
Fall Fest at Coleman Hay Farms (Chalfont) runs weekends September 26 through October 25 with hayrides, a corn pit, and horse-drawn carriage rides.
Charlann Farms Fall Festival Weekends (Yardley) run September 19 through October 25; hayrides, pumpkin picking and painting, and a corn maze, with tickets sold online.
None Such Farm Pumpkin Festival (Buckingham) runs October weekends, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., with pick-your-own pumpkins, hayrides, and live music – and free admission, which is getting rare.
Snipes Farm Fall Festival (lower Bucks) runs October weekends with pumpkin picking, hayrides, and live music on one of the county’s oldest working farms.
One-Day Fall Events Worth Circling
Olde Langhorne Harvest Festival takes over Maple Avenue in Langhorne on Saturday, October 24, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.: vendors, live music, kids’ activities, and a costume contest, all free.
Gasper Home & Garden Family Fun Days (Richboro) run Saturdays from late September into mid-October with indoor pumpkin painting and scarecrow building – the rainy-day backup plan.
Borough fall festivals, PorchFests, and harvest days pop up nearly every September and October weekend across the county; the Visit Bucks County fall calendar and Bucks County Parent’s festival roundup track the full slate, and our own events calendar follows the local ones as they are announced.
What This Means for Bucks County Residents
Two practical tips from every year’s festival season. First, the big farms now sell timed tickets online and the best Saturday slots in mid-October sell out, so book early if your kids have their hearts set on a specific weekend. Second, traffic around Shady Brook and Peddler’s Village on peak October Saturdays is real; going Sunday morning or a September weekend gets you the same festival with half the crowd. Keep an eye on our Events coverage for weather calls and schedule changes.
