Halloween at the Butler's Pumpkin Festival 🎃👻

Halloween morning, pumpkin festival, tiny costumes. Need we say more?

We're spending Halloween at Butler's Orchard's 46th Annual Pumpkin Festival, and costumes for the little ones are absolutely encouraged (parents too, zero judgment either way).

THE PLAN: Meet us at 10:30 AM just inside the festival entrance and we'll roam together: hayrides, giant slides, jump pads, the corn maze, barnyard animals, a corn pool for the littles, plus live music. It's all included with admission. Pony rides, face painting, and the pumpkin cannon are there too for a few bucks extra. Message us through Meetup when you arrive and we'll wave you over.

TICKETS: RSVPing here is free, tickets come straight from Butler's. It's $18 per person in advance and kids under 24 months are free. Important: they sell out most weekend days and won't admit walk-ins once they do, so book your tickets as soon as you RSVP: butlersorchard.ticketspice.com/fall-2026
Tickets are non-refundable but can be transferred to another person or date if plans change, so booking early is low-risk.

GOOD TO KNOW: About 45 minutes from DC. Pumpkins are 79 cents a pound if you want to grab some on the way out (trick-or-treat carving emergency, anyone?). Stroller friendly, comfy shoes, and maybe a costume that survives a hayride.

Drop a comment when you RSVP so we know who to look for. See you there! 🎃👻
