Pumpkins, gourds and fall fun in Halifax
The Patch is a small family-run farm, and they’re bringing a mix of pumpkins and gourds in all shapes and sizes. Pick one out for the front step, grab a few gourds for the table, and stick around for lawn games on a patio dressed up for fall with straw bales and seasonal decor.
Pumpkin ale and hot drinks
We’re bringing in a small batch of pumpkin ale as a guest tap, along with a hot drink for kids, non-drinkers and anyone who needs warming up.
A Thanksgiving weekend event in Halifax
The second Saturday falls on Thanksgiving weekend, so it’s an easy way to pick up your centrepiece and get out for an afternoon with family and friends before the big dinner.
Family friendly fall event on the Halifax Common
Bring the kids, bring your visiting relatives, and make a fall afternoon of it. It’s one of the easiest things to do in Halifax this October that doesn’t involve a car trip to the Valley.
