The great big pumpkin patch at Brightwaters Farms has opened its gates once again.
The farm’s annual Fall Harvest kicked off Saturday, Oct. 1 and runs through Sunday, Oct. 30.
Once there, families and friends can pick pumpkins, hop on a hayride and dig in to roasted corn, apple cider donuts and homemade pies.
For the kiddos, there’s puppet and magic shows, pony rides, balloon sculptures and face painting. Adults can enjoy pumpkin beer courtesy of Great South Bay Brewery and Angry Orchard cider.
Attendees can also pop into the 12-acre farm’s general store, where they can purchase homemade goods, commemorative gifts and some spooky decorations.
The fall harvest at the farm at 1624 Manatuck Boulevard is open Wednesday through Sunday, plus Columbus Day.
The cost is $20 per person on Saturdays and Sundays, but babies under one enter for free. The weekend hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
There is no entry fee for Wednesdays, Thursdays or Fridays, when the hours are 12-5 p.m.
