Are you ready to have some fall fun with your tyke? Get in on some, Oct. 5-6 2019, at the annual MSU Farm Pumpkinfest in Novi.
This annual October festival features fall traditions like pumpkin picking, straw mazes and farm animals along with concerts, historical demonstrations, educational exhibits and kids activities all to support the educational programming that happens at the farm.

After, take a stroll around the booths that are set up. There’s booths that feature a straw maze and pumpkin bowling; plus ones from local libraries and museums that’ll offer stories and hands-on activities.
Be sure to take a peek at some of this historical reenactments to learn how Michiganders of the past cooked their food and the other educational exhibits, too.
You’ll also get to hang out with some live farm animals and enjoy live musical performances throughout the fest, too.
