pumpkin festival

PRESENTING SPONSOR: McDonald's

Thousands of pumpkins will be ripe for the picking from our 10-acre pumpkin patch at Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield. Come search for the perfect jack o' lantern or pumpkin pie gourd for all your Halloween and fall festivities! Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield will be filled with exciting children's activities and vendors selling handcrafted gifts.

Experience ghost tours of the 1860s historical homestead located on the Chatfield grounds. The homestead includes a working farm complete with goats, chickens and sheep. Also be sure to stop by Deer Creek Discovery, a children’s play area that features a whimsical tree house and water feature.

After you buy your pumpkins, take them to the free Pumpkin Daycare, so you can walk around and enjoy the rest of the festival. While at Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield, make it a full day of family fun and stop by the spectacular Corn Maze right next door.*
