Event Details

Get ready for the changing season at Denver Downs Farm with the 2026 Fall at Denver Downs Fall Festival, opening September 25 and continuing on select dates through November 14. This family-friendly fall attraction offers much more than a traditional pumpkin patch and corn maze, with more than 35 activities, farm animals, live weekend entertainment, bonfires, seasonal food, and plenty of opportunities to enjoy autumn with family and friends.

Visitors can explore the farm during the day or experience the special atmosphere of Pumpkin Nights at Denver Downs, featuring illuminated photo opportunities, a pumpkin-themed trail, live music, and evening activities. On Saturdays in October, guests can also enjoy fireworks as part of the nighttime fall experience.

With activities for children and adults, seasonal food, pumpkins, farm attractions, and autumn entertainment, Fall at Denver Downs is a popular fall destination for families looking for things to do near the Lake Hartwell area and throughout Upstate South Carolina.

About the Event

Fall at Denver Downs transforms Denver Downs Farm into a seasonal destination filled with autumn activities and entertainment. The festival features more than 35 family activities, giving visitors plenty to explore during a trip to the farm.

Guests can enjoy the corn maze and pumpkin patch, spend time around friendly farm animals, listen to live weekend entertainment, relax around crackling bonfires, and grab something to eat while enjoying the fall atmosphere.

The festival runs on select dates from September 25 through November 14, with different operating hours depending on the month and day of the week. Visitors should check the farm’s official schedule before making plans because the festival does not operate every day throughout the entire date range.

Pumpkin Nights at Denver Downs

For an evening autumn experience, Pumpkin Nights at Denver Downs adds illuminated attractions and nighttime activities to the farm experience.

Guests can walk along the Pumpkin Nights trail, enjoy lighted photo opportunities, visit the candy cane forest, listen to live musicians, and take in the seasonal scenery. Private bonfires are also available for guests who want to create a more personalized evening experience.

On Saturdays in October, fireworks are scheduled as an additional part of the nighttime festivities.

Fall Festival Photo Pass

Denver Downs Farm also offers a Fall Festival Photo Pass on selected Saturdays and Sundays from September 26 through October 31.

The pass covers an entire group and provides access to three professional Memory Stops around the farm. Photographers capture the group during the experience, with 15–24 professional photos delivered to a private online gallery within 24 hours.

No app is required, and the photos are provided without watermarks or additional photo purchases.

Why You’ll Want to Come

Fall at Denver Downs offers a full day or evening of seasonal entertainment rather than just a quick visit to a pumpkin patch. Families can combine classic fall activities with farm attractions, live music, food, bonfires, and outdoor experiences.

The nighttime Pumpkin Nights experience provides another reason to visit, particularly for guests who enjoy illuminated displays and autumn photo opportunities. October Saturday fireworks add another special feature to selected evening visits.

For families searching for fall festivals near Lake Hartwell, things to do in Upstate South Carolina in October, or a seasonal pumpkin experience, Denver Downs Farm provides a variety of activities to enjoy throughout the fall season.
