by | Oct 10, 2025

Experience a surge of autumn delight as the much-anticipated Fall Festival at Harris Establishment Farms opens its doors. This cherished community gathering invites all to step into a season of rich colors and shared enjoyment, with a special chance for visitors to select their own lovely flowers. Whether you aim to brighten your home with a fresh arrangement or capture cherished images within the festive setting, the U-Pick flower fields await.

Harris Establishment Farms Fall Festival: A Celebration of the Season

The festival has run from September 11th, going until November 2nd, presenting a broad selection of activities designed to please everyone. Situated at 1950 Vars St NW in Palm Bay, FL 32907, the farm is easily reached from the southern part of Brevard County, a short distance from US-192 and I-95. Attendees can anticipate a traditional Pumpkin Patch, an engaging Crop Maze, scenic Wagon Rides, friendly farm animals, a dedicated Fun Zone for children, and numerous scenic spots for photos to preserve those special fall moments. Please note that the final entry is always one hour before closing.

Weekly Highlights: S’mores Hour & Family Nights

This year’s Fall Festival includes two noteworthy weekly events. Each Tuesday evening in October, from 5:30 PM to 6:30 PM, families can gather by the campfire for a pleasant S’mores Hour, including complimentary s’more kits for each paying guest. Additionally, Wednesdays are designated as Family Nights throughout October, featuring a reduced entry fee of $12 per person (children aged 2 and under are admitted free). These evenings are ideal for an economical family outing, enjoying all the farm’s attractions.

U-Pick Flower Fields: Wildflowers in Full Bloom

For those wishing to bring home a piece of the farm’s natural beauty, the U-Pick flower fields are available, though supply depends on the season’s yield. Currently, the colorful Wildflowers are in full, impressive bloom, providing a picturesque experience for pickers. However, the U-Pick Sunflowers are quite limited this season, so early visits are advised if sunflowers are your preference. Kindly be aware that the U-Pick Produce section is not open at this time, with the focus exclusively on the beautiful floral selections.

A Fall Experience to Remember

Harris Establishment Farms truly comes alive during the autumn period, offering a welcoming break and an opportunity to create enduring memories. The combination of a lively festival atmosphere, engaging family activities, and the simple pleasure of picking your own flowers makes it a destination worth visiting. It is an excellent way to connect with the outdoors and appreciate the cool autumn air in a fun, relaxed environment. Monitor their Facebook page or the Fall Festival section of their website for any updates concerning hours, availability, or special announcements.

Family Fun and Lasting Memories

Anticipation is growing for the Fall Festival, and the chance to walk through fields and choose your own blooms is a significant draw. Picture yourself creating a personalized bouquet from the farm’s stunning wildflowers, currently bursting with color, or perhaps securing one of the limited sunflowers. This hands-on activity adds a distinctive and personal element to the festive outing, making it more than just a visit, but an experience. It is a lovely way for families to engage with the harvest season and bring a bit of the farm’s charm back with them.

Beyond the U-Pick flowers, the festival grounds offer abundant entertainment for everyone. From the challenge of navigating the Crop Maze to the gentle motion of a Wagon Ride, there is something to bring happiness to every family member. The younger children will particularly enjoy the Fun Zone and interacting with the gentle farm animals. The entire experience is designed to promote a sense of togetherness and provide ample chances for wonderful photo opportunities against the backdrop of a classic fall landscape.
