Fall festivities are in full swing across Maryland this month leading up to Halloween. Howard County is offering a unique seasonal favorite — the Floating Pumpkin Patch.

Hosted by the Roger Carter Community Center, this family-friendly event invites children to come and pick their very own pumpkin from a pool filled with floating pumpkins. The fun doesn’t stop there — families can also enjoy games, crafts, and other fall-themed activities throughout the day. Halloween costumes are welcome outside of the floating pumpkin patch.

Back by popular demand, this creative twist on a traditional pumpkin patch promises a memorable and festive experience for all ages.

You must register to participate in this event and times are slotted based on age of child. For more information and to register, please see Howard County’s Floating Pumpkin Patch.
