The rock star of the day will be the Pumpkin flavored craft brews accompanied by farmhouse flavors, fresh hops, wet hops, saisons and more to give your palette an autumnal explosion of over 40+ seasonal concoctions. Pockets of taps will be scattered through the venue with coveted brews popping up in unexpected corners.  This is one party you don’t want to be late for!  The fest kicks off with the ultimate keg tapping as rivers of beer flow straight into your commemorative cup from the over 1000lbs of giant pumpkin kegs.

The power of pumpkin does not stop at libations and will inspire specialty foodie creations at the food booths & trucks! Sample squash inspired flavors with everything from butternut squash pizza, to pumpkin egg rolls, pumpkin bao buns, pumpkin chili and more! Full menus of other bar-foodie favorites will also be available.

Themed experientials will catch you off gourd at every turn as you navigate a non-formulaic corn row maze, step through photo ops of anarchy, glimpse your fate in a corner of clairvoyant readers and stumble upon the gravity defying twists of striking themed performances.

 Expect the unexpected with a roguish line-up of bands and DJs that give you just the right off-kilter balance of edge and energy. Enter to compete or root for your bestie in the Gourd Games. These strong man-style games include; Pumpkin Throwing, Pumpkin Pole Climb, The Pumpkin Squat, Pumpkin Pie Eating, Pumpkin Seed Spitting & more.
