The previous event included music, lawn games, family relays, an outdoor movie, pumpkins for sale, and food available for purchase. Check The Buggy Bunch’s website or social media for an updated 2026 announcement.

Holy Cross has sold pumpkins, gourds, and mini pumpkins with photo areas for families. Previous seasons supported the church’s youth programs.

Choosing the Right Pumpkin Patch
For the longest season: Hobe Sound Farms runs October 3 through November 1, 2026.
For evening visits: Pumpkin Towne Stuart is open until 9 PM every day.
For a farm experience: Hobe Sound Farms and Hamilton Farms U-Pick are working farms with more room to explore than a church lot.
For a market outing: Blooming Freedom’s Fall Market is listed for October 10, and First Congregational Church’s pumpkin patch markets run on four October Saturdays.
For extra family activities: Discovery Church’s Family Day runs October 17 from noon to 4 PM, and Lakewood Park Church’s Fall Fest runs the same day from noon to 5 PM.
For easy access: Church patches in Stuart, Port St. Lucie, Fort Pierce, and Vero Beach are close to main roads and neighborhoods. Confirm schedules for any listing marked unverified.
For pet owners: The Sidonia pumpkin patch markets are listed as pet-friendly. Palm City Farms and First United Methodist Church Port St. Lucie have welcomed dogs in past years; confirm their 2026 policies before bringing pets.
Planning Your Visit
October on the Treasure Coast is usually warm, with a chance of afternoon storms. Morning visits tend to be cooler and drier.
The best selection is early in the season. Late-October visits work well for families who want to carve close to Halloween night.
Bring cash for honor-system patches or places that may not take cards. Wear closed-toe shoes for grass, hay, and uneven ground, and bring sunscreen since the sun stays strong through the fall.
Check the organizer’s latest announcement before leaving, especially for patches with unverified hours or pumpkin deliveries that depend on shipping schedules.
For more fall fun, see the Treasure Coast Halloween events guide and the list of trunk-or-treats on the Treasure Coast.
Selecting a Quality Pumpkin
Choose a firm pumpkin with no soft spots, cracks, or deep bruises. The stem should be firmly attached, since a loose stem is a sign of age and a shorter display life.
Check the bottom for a flat spot so the pumpkin sits steady. Carving works best on pumpkins with a smooth, fairly flat face. Pie pumpkins are smaller with denser flesh than carving pumpkins. White and heirloom varieties are good choices for decorating.
