There’s a cornucopia of activities, not to mention the farmers' market and palatial pumpkin patch, at Burke Nursery & Garden Center's 18th Annual Fall Festival. During the month of October, Sundays through Thursdays from 9 a.m.-8 p.m. and Fridays through Saturdays until 9 p.m., at 9401 Burke Road, Burke, there will be pumpkins galore and hayrides all day--from a pumpkin fort, a ghost tunnel slide, rope swing and farm animals, to the fall produce market and the carveable pumpkin that comes with admission, the festival has something for everyone. $9-12. www.pumpkinplayground.com.
