🍂 Krochmal Farms Pumpkin Festival – A New England Fall Tradition 🎃
Every year when the season changes and autumn arrives, our 4th-generation family farm in Tewksbury, Massachusetts opens the gates to our beloved pumpkin patch! For over 30 years, Krochmal Farms Pumpkin Festival has been one of the best fall festivals near Boston, welcoming families from all over New England to enjoy the beauty of the foliage and the tradition of a true local farm event.
Just 20 minutes north of Boston, our pumpkin festival is the perfect destination if you’re searching for things to do in the Boston area this fall, family-friendly events near me, or local fall festivals in Massachusetts. Parking is always free, and there is no admission charge to enter the farm. Pay as you go and pick what you would like to do for activities.
Visitors can enjoy a wide variety of fun fall activities for all ages — from exploring the pumpkin patch and snapping photos among the foliage, to classic farm favorites like hayrides, pony rides, a corn maze, and visits with our friendly farm animals. It’s also the perfect place to pick out your pumpkins and browse fall decorations to bring the spirit of autumn home, making the experience feel like a true New England festival. Our farm is proud to host a family-oriented event that creates lasting memories for kids, parents, families, and friends.
We take pride in our community and love that so many families return year after year to celebrate the season with us. Whether you’re planning a day trip from Boston, looking for fall events near me, or simply want to experience a classic New England pumpkin festival, Krochmal Farms is the perfect spot to make special memories this autumn.
