Fall-O-Ween Festival
Last Two Weekends of SeptemberCelebrate the harvest with the Fall-O-Ween Fest!
Starting in mid-September, our Fall-O-Ween Fest runs during weekends in September. It is the start of the pumpkin harvest - Prairie Gardens is the furthest north blue pumpkin farm in the world!
With over 15 acres of pumpkins planted - of all shape, colour and size imaginable, and wide open spaces - this is a safe and family activity! Hayrides, corn mazes, scarecrow making, and pumpkin patch visits are all part of the fun. While at the farm, you can also visit the farm animals, race through a bale maze, catch the end of the sunflower season in our sunflower daze, hunt for treasure at the Lost Lemon Gem Mine, or get competitive with some good ol' fashioned farm fun at the Pumpkin Corn-i-val with pumpkin bowling, pumpkin ring toss, bale jumps and more!
2026 has been a year of record-breaking rain across the province. On August 6th, Sturgeon County declared an agricultural disaster for this growing season.
____________________________________________________________
Our fields have been affected and several crops have been lost as a result of the growing conditions, including the Corn and Sunflower Mazes, which will not be available for the fall 2026 season.
Fall-O-Ween Dates 2026: September 19-20 & 26-27
The farm is also open on Fridays and weekday afternoons - small corn maze, bale mazes, sunflower maze, train rides, heritage chicken viewing, gem mining, etc (weekday admission rates). We are open daily for pumpkin sales - call ahead to check (780-921-2272) availability. Pumpkins can be ready as early as the last week of August or as late as late September, depending on the growing season.
Planning Notes: School Field Trips come to Prairie Gardens weekday mornings. Please do not plan to come to visit us on Weekday Morning (Monday thru Thursday), as we are offering pre-registered guided school field trips from 9am - 12pm. On Fridays and weekends, we are open to the public all day.
