Texas Pumpkin Fest (LLC) has partnered with the VFW in Leander and the new location provides even more space for parking, activities, pumpkins, and gourds (you can smash them too!). We needed the extra space because this isn’t your normal, everyday run-of-the-mill pumpkin fest this is a texas sized pumpkin fest with a total of 750,000 pounds of pumpkins and gourds (250,000 pounds at any given time!) yep, that’s why it’s called the texas pumpkin fest. Besides a ridiculous number of pumpkins and gourds, enjoy a variety of rides and games, get spooked in the tent of terror with animatronics, monsters, and zombies. Race down the 65’ super slide, blow the whistle on one of the kiddie trains, get dizzy in the giant pumpkin spinner, fly high in the sky on the Ferris wheel, turn into a pirate on the pirate ship, become a superhero or princess with face painting and get lost in the hay maze. There will be a hefty amount of food trucks serving bbq, gourmet hotdogs, Caribbean food, funnel cakes, shaved ice, fried Oreos, grilled cheese, chicken wings, burgers & fries, Mexican food, coffee, and more. the VFW will have beer and wine for purchase as well. The texas pumpkin fest family has been producing pumpkin patches for over 30 years and this year is shaping up to be the best yet!
