13th Annual Pumpkin Patch
October 5 @ 9:00 am - 3:00 pm
Bring your friends and family to celebrate the arrival of fall at Island Farm! Every Saturday in October, Island Farm will host its 13th annual Pumpkin Patch event. There will be no shortage of fun memories to be made, with a diverse array of fall games and activities offered. This event will take place on October 5, 12, 19, and 26 from 9 A.M. until 3 P.M. Admission for visitors aged four and older is $10. Children 0-3 years old are admitted for free.
This year’s Pumpkin Patch will feature plenty of pumpkins – grown locally in Chowan County by a descendant of Island Farm. During the event, visitors will enjoy historic games, doll crafting, candle making, cider and popcorn, blacksmith shop giveaways, and a new lineup of fall activities including a nail-driving contest, slingshot games, bubbles, and more! In addition to the farm’s activities, breakfast biscuits and a variety of local art vendors and locally-grown produce will be available for purchase on site.
Island Farm is a living history site located on the north-end of Roanoke Island; it offers a trip back in time to the 1850’s along the Outer Banks through hands-on activities, historic building tours, demonstrations, working livestock, and more. Open Tuesday through Friday, the living history site offers live interpretation, daily mini-programs and special weekend events. The farmstead is located at 1140 N US Highway 64, north of Manteo, on Roanoke Island.
This event is funded in part by the Outer Banks Visitors Bureau and Southern Bank.
