It finally feels like fall in St. Pete, just in time for all the fall activities just around the corner. This weekend, a big one is hitting the St. Pete Pier as the Fall Festival and Pumpkin Patch will be taking over Spa Beach Family Park.

The St. Pete Pier Fall Festival welcomes in the fall season with Visit St. Pete-Clearwater on Saturday and Sunday, October 8th and 9th. The fall festival will feature live music, family-friendly entertainment and activities, food vendors, games, rides, and St. Pete’s biggest pumpkin patch.

Admission to the St. Pete Pier Fall Fest is free and accessible to anyone, though there may be a fee to participate in some activities. The festival operates October 8 from 11 am – 9 pm, and October 9 from 11 am – 8 pm.

As part of the festivities, the St. Pete Pier Pumpkin Patch will bring a full two weeks of pumpkin picking and picture taking to the waterfront park. The farm fresh pumpkins will be available to purchase (and snap pics with) daily from October 8 through October 16.

On opening weekend, October 8 and 9, the pumpkin patch will have the same hours of operation as the Fall Festival. Monday-Friday, October 10-14, it will be open to visitors from 5-9 pm. On its closing weekend, the pumpkin patch will be open Saturday, October 15 from 11 am – 9 pm, and Sunday, October 16 from 11 am – 6 pm.
