Celebrate the beauty of fall at the 35th Annual Sinkland Farms Pumpkin Festival. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Virginia's Favorite Fall Festival welcomes families from across the region for seven weekends at an award-winning pumpkin patch and corn maze with unforgettable farm fun.

This year's festival introduces America's Harvest Celebration, honoring 250 years of America's agricultural heritage, family traditions, and the spirit of the harvest. Throughout the festival, guests will experience America's Harvest Celebration through the traditions of farm life, live music, seasonal activities, local artisans, delicious food, and the simple joys of gathering with family and friends to celebrate the harvest season.

Recognized by USA TODAY's 10Best Readers' Choice Awards as the 4th Best Pumpkin Patch and 4th Best Corn Maze in the Nation in 2025, Sinkland Farms has become one of Southwest Virginia's premier fall destinations.

Punkin' Chunkin' returns to the farm with Team Carbo's trebouchet, an innovative new catapult design that uses large rubber bands to power it. This catapult won't be using any motors. It's manually cocked and operated.

Bob Chew performs from 1:00-4:00 PM.

Bob Chew is a local musician performing 1960s hits, classic country, western swing and cowboy tunes. Bob plays the steel guitar among other instruments and singing both as a solo artist and in a variety of bands including Swingfest, The Dirt Road Kings and The Hayriders. Bob has also been a member of The Floorboards and 3 Minute Lovin'.
