Pick out a pumpkin and make a day of it on Governors Island at the annual Pumpkin Point fall festival.
What to expect
Pumpkin picking right here in New York? You can do just that on Governors Island. Pumpkin Point brings a pumpkin patch and fall festival to Nolan Park, with trick-or-treating at the historic houses, too.
Costumes are encouraged, so feel free to dress up! You can also buy seasonal food and drinks during your visit.
Good to know
- Bring a reusable bag for your pumpkin. The limit is one pumpkin per person in your household.
- The event runs rain or shine. Candy is available while supplies last.
- Leave yourself some extra time to explore the rest of the island.
