Sinkland Farms 35th Annual Pumpkin Festival
Opening weekend of the Pumpkin Festival will include Sinkland Farms 4th Annual Wine Festival. Our annual Pumpkin Festival is truly something to write home about! We are celebrating our 35th anniversary during the 2026 season and are making sure this will be a year to remember. Attracting folks from miles around, we bring out the best of the farm during our traditional pumpkin harvest. While our pumpkin patch is the star of the show, we offer seven weekends jam-packed with activities, food, and fun you won’t want to miss. (Limited Activities on Thursdays/Fridays.)
This year's festival introduces America's Harvest Celebration, honoring 250 years of America's agricultural heritage, family traditions, and the spirit of the harvest. Throughout the season, guests will experience patriotic farm displays, themed weekends, expanded Americana music, and a special corn maze celebrating America's farming legacy.
Recognized by USA TODAY's 10Best Readers' Choice Awards as the 4th Best Pumpkin Patch and 4th Best Corn Maze in the Nation in 2025, Sinkland Farms has become one of Southwest Virginia's premier fall destinations.
Venture on a hayride or enjoy a relaxing nature stroll to 10 acres of pumpkin patch, meander through the corn maze, and breathe in the fresh country air while gazing upon the Blue Ridge Mountains. Children may enjoy our Kidz-Zone which includes a zip-line, giant slides and jumping pad, swings, ropes course, spider climber, and so much more! Skip over to see farm-ily, friendly animals, walking trails, and The Tuscan Pond. Adult beverages are served on the Tuscan Terrace. Meet at The Cottage Shoppe for ice cream, kettle corn, jams, and goodies, and food vendors to delight!
Live Music: Makenzie Phipps 1-4pm - Musical talent has long run in the veins of viral Country sensation Makenzie Phipps. Following in the footsteps of her uncle - Country music songwriter Ron Simons - Phipps has long been known as the little girl with the big voice in her home state of Virginia. But it is that talented little girl that has grown into a young woman whose talents shine brighter with each and every song she puts out.
