Embrace the Eerie: Festivities for Spooky Season

Excitement Awaits: Pumpkin Patches, Ghost Tours, and Oktoberfests!

The Washington, DC metro area presents an array of autumn-themed activities, offering plenty of options for both families and individuals. As the temperature starts to cool down, the northern part of the region comes alive with exciting possibilities. Butler’s Orchard in Germantown is the perfect destination, with pumpkins ripe for the picking and hay wagons primed for scenic rides. Be sure to consult the Pick Your Own Crop Calendar to organize your visit. Meanwhile, at Heyser Farms in Spencerville, where they produce their own cider, apple enthusiasts can delight in the unique Spencerville Red variety proudly offered by their apple experts.

Here's a standout recommendation from our list of favorites: If you can spare some time, consider making your way to Middletown, located just west of Frederick, to explore the wonders of Jumbo's Pumpkin Patch. Of course, you can pick your very own pumpkin here, but that's just the beginning. Immerse yourself in the corn maze, savor a leisurely hayride, bounce around on the jumping pillow, or pay a visit to the charming petting zoo!
