2026 Riverview Pumpkin Festival & Haunted Trail

Come join the fun! 🎃 The Riverview Pumpkin Festival has something for everyone. Take a hayride to the patch and pick from 30+ varieties of pumpkins and gourds, fire the Pumpkin Cannon, launch apples from the apple cannons, mine for gemstones, climb the Tire Mountain, ride the train, and meet the farm animals. Grab SDSU ice cream, a caramel apple or a bite from our food vendors, shop the lodge, and pull up a chair in the beer and wine garden while the kids play.

HAUNTED TRAIL, TWO (1) NIGHTS ONLY

Saturday, October 10 and Saturday, October 17, 7 to 9:30 p.m. (Last ticket sold at 9 p.m.)

Take a guided hike through the dark trails around the pumpkin patch and hear the stories of our farm's haunted past. The trail runs up to 3/4 of a mile over uneven ground including one large hill, so wear hiking shoes and dress for a cool fall night. While you wait, the inflatables and yard games stay open, treats are available inside, and you can browse the store.

The Haunted Trail is a fundraiser for the Canton High School FFA, so these tickets are not discounted. Every dollar goes further for the students.
