Pumpkin Patches and Harvest Festivals in Metro Phoenix

Picking your own pumpkins for Halloween decorations and cooking is a fall tradition just about everywhere in the United States. Arizona is no different, and there are several places you can go to enjoy picking your pumpkins from a pumpkin patch, beginning at the end of September.

These harvest festivals are located in the Phoenix area and are presented in alphabetical order, by the name of the farm or location. If you are willing to drive a couple of hours for a great family day trip, there are also harvest festivals within about a two-hour drive, give or take, depending on your starting point!
