Upcoming events.
The Great Pumpkin Farm
Join us this Fall in Clarence at The Great Pumpkin Farm!
A WNY family tradition, The Great Pumpkin Farm started out in 1996 as a way of celebrating the harvest of blessings we enjoy each fall by hosting the World Pumpkin Weigh-off…and ended up in the Guinness World Book of Records for the first 1,000-pound pumpkin! From there, the Festival grew each year to include more signature events, rides and attractions and, today, it’s one of Western New York’s signature fall events and an annual destination for thousands of families.
Fun, Food and everything the Fall season has to offer!
