Pumpkin season is around the corner, and the popular Downey’s Farm is gearing up for its annual fall event after it was cut short in 2020. The farm told Curiocity that their signature “sea of orange pumpkins” will be making a comeback in September for Pumpkinfest, along with many other fall-themed activities.

In addition to the 10,000 pumpkins on display, Downey’s Farm will have a corn maze, farm animals, wagon rides, live entertainment, jumping pillows, a skeleton band, and more, so you can load up on everything you love during Ontario’s prettiest season. Downeys’ pumpkin donuts are made fresh on-site and they even have pumpkin donut ice cream sandwiches, so be sure to bring your appetite.

Last year, Downey’s Farm made the decision to remove its sprawling pumpkin display for the first time in 30 years in order to prevent crowds amid COVID-19 restrictions.
