Rather than functioning only as a pumpkin patch, it combines traditional harvest activities with family attractions and entertainment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visitors can choose pumpkins, take a scenic hayride, explore themed attractions, enjoy food, listen to live entertainment on weekends, and participate in activities designed primarily around family fun.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The setting also helps make the event useful for travellers. Lehighton sits close to several popular Pocono destinations, allowing families to combine the festival with a broader day or weekend exploring the mountains.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What&#8217;s New at the 2026 Festival?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Returning visitors have several new experiences to look forward to this year.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. Wizard of Oz Hayride<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the headline additions for 2026 is the Wizard of Oz Hayride.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The themed ride takes guests through a Munchkinland-inspired experience toward an Emerald City tunnel. It&#8217;s a playful update to the classic fall hayride and one of the main new family attractions being promoted by Country Junction this season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Tricky Trail Corn Maze<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The new Tricky Trail adds an interactive maze experience to the festival.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For families, a maze provides a good change of pace between rides and other attractions while retaining the classic harvest-festival atmosphere.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Bigfoot Paintball Run<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For visitors looking for something more energetic, the festival has also introduced a Bigfoot-themed paintball experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Country Junction lists paintball among activities that may involve an additional fee, so check what&#8217;s included in your chosen ticket before visiting.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Best Things to Do at the Great Pocono Pumpkin Festival<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There&#8217;s enough variety here that it&#8217;s worth allowing several hours rather than treating the festival as a quick pumpkin-shopping stop.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. Take a Scenic Hayride<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Few experiences feel more traditionally autumnal than climbing aboard a hayride surrounded by changing leaves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For 2026, the new Wizard of Oz theme gives the ride an additional entertainment element, particularly for younger children.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Explore the 3D Pumpkin Fun House<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 3D Pumpkin Fun House adds an indoor, immersive attraction to the day. It&#8217;s also useful when your group wants a short break between outdoor activities.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Navigate the Tricky Trail<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let the family test their navigation skills together in the new interactive autumn maze. It is one of the easiest activities to turn into a friendly competition between children and adults.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. Play Laser Tag<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The festival isn&#8217;t limited to traditional harvest activities. Weekend admission currently includes laser tag, giving older children and groups something more action-oriented to try.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5. Visit the Kids&#8217; Area and Petting Farm<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Country Junction also lists a kids&#8217; area, petting farm, pedal carts, and Pirate Ship among its weekday festival features, adding plenty of options for younger visitors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6. Pick Your Fall Pumpkin<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, you can&#8217;t have a Pocono Pumpkin Festival without pumpkins.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take some time to browse the seasonal displays and choose a pumpkin to bring home. It&#8217;s a simple part of the experience, but often the one children remember most.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How Much Are Tickets?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Country Junction currently lists weekend general admission at $15 per person, with children aged two and younger admitted free.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Groups of 15 or more can currently receive a $12-per-person group rate. The festival is also advertising half-price weekday admission, although the selection of weekday attractions differs from the full weekend experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Weekend tickets include access to festival activities, live entertainment from noon to 3 PM, food trucks, and laser tag, according to the organizer. Some optional attractions may carry separate charges.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is the Festival Good for Families?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Absolutely. This is one of the more family-orientated fall festivals in the Poconos.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Pocono Mountains Visitors Bureau specifically highlights the event for families with younger children. Between hayrides, pumpkins, the maze, kids&#8217; attractions, live entertainment, and other activities, it&#8217;s possible to keep different age groups occupied without constantly moving between venues.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For parents, arriving relatively early is worthwhile. You&#8217;ll have more time to explore before younger children become tired, and you won&#8217;t need to rush through activities late in the afternoon.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Should You Bring?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fall weather in the mountains can change considerably during the festival&#8217;s month-long run.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Late September may still produce mild afternoons, while late October can feel significantly cooler.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dress in layers and wear comfortable walking shoes. A light jacket, water bottle, sunscreen, and a small bag for children&#8217;s essentials can make the day easier.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And don&#8217;t forget your phone or camera; the pumpkins and autumn scenery create plenty of opportunities for family photos.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Things to Do Near the Great Pocono Pumpkin Festival<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don&#8217;t rush home after the pumpkins.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. Explore Hickory Run State Park<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hickory Run is an excellent addition for travellers who want to combine family fall activities in the Poconos with nature.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depending on your schedule and group, you can explore hiking opportunities, forest scenery, and the park&#8217;s famous Boulder Field.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Spend Time Around Lake Harmony<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lake Harmony makes another convenient addition to an autumn itinerary, particularly if your accommodation is in the area.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Combine the lake with nearby scenic roads, outdoor recreation, restaurants, and foliage viewing.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Take a Scenic Fall Drive<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Late September through October overlaps with the region&#8217;s foliage season. The Pocono Mountains Visitors Bureau maintains a weekly fall foliage forecast, which can help travelers determine where colours are progressing during their visit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead of taking the quickest route between attractions, build a little extra time into the schedule and enjoy the scenery.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Where to Stay for the Great Pocono Pumpkin Festival<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For families and groups turning the event into a weekend trip, a private vacation rental provides more space to relax together after a busy festival day.<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.holidaykeepers.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HolidayKeepers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> offers several distinctive options depending on your group size.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A. 174 Acre Luxury Mansion Rental with Private Pool\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a very large group or multi-family getaway, this private <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.holidaykeepers.com\/pa\/poconos\/listing\/8-bedroom-luxury-mansion-for-rent\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">174-acre luxury mansion <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">accommodates 43+ guests.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The property offers a private movie theatre, game room, large hot tub, indoor fireplace, pool, bar area, and extensive gathering space. That makes it especially useful when several families want to experience the festival together while having plenty to do after returning home.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">B. Mesmerizing Villa for Rent with Indoor Pool<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.holidaykeepers.com\/pa\/poconos\/listing\/4-bedroom-luxury-castle-for-rent\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">private villa<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> accommodates 30+ guests and is particularly appealing for unpredictable autumn weather.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The indoor lap pool, private sauna, home theatre, gaming area, fireplace, and bar create plenty of entertainment indoors, while an outdoor fire pit and BBQ area suit crisp fall evenings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Its location also makes Lake Harmony, Hickory Run, and other central Pocono attractions convenient additions to a festival weekend.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">C. 5BR Lake Harmony Cabin with Serene Views<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a classic autumn mountain atmosphere, this 5-bedroom <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.holidaykeepers.com\/pa\/poconos\/listing\/5-bedroom-cottage-in-lake-harmony-for-party-rental\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lake Harmony cabin<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> accommodates 16+ guests.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The private hot tub, outdoor fireplace\/fire pit, patio, heated floors, and forest setting make it particularly well suited to fall. It is also approximately 4.2 miles from Hickory Run State Park, making it easy to combine pumpkin-festival fun with a foliage hike.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why the Great Pocono Pumpkin Festival Is Worth Adding to Your Fall Trip<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What makes the festival useful from a travel-planning perspective is its variety.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can enjoy the classic autumn traditions, pumpkins, and hayrides, without limiting the day to those experiences. Mazes, laser tag, live entertainment, themed attractions, food, children&#8217;s activities, and special weekend programming make it easier to entertain a mixed-age family or group.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And because it runs from late September through most of October, you have considerably more flexibility than with a one-weekend event.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conclusion<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Great Pocono Pumpkin Festival 2026 offers an easy way to experience the playful side of autumn in the Pocono region.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visit Country Junction between September 26 and October 25, 2026, and you can build a day around pumpkins, the Wizard of Oz Hayride, the Tricky Trail, laser tag, family attractions, food, and weekend entertainment. Then extend the experience with foliage viewing, Hickory Run State Park, Lake Harmony, and a relaxing evening back at your HolidayKeepers vacation home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For families and groups, that combination turns a few hours at a pumpkin festival in the Poconos into a complete fall weekend.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Planning to stay overnight?
