Fall is taking over Moorpark as Underwood Family Farms brings back its 29th annual Fall Harvest Festival from September 26 through October 31, 2026. The sprawling 50-acre farm will be packed with pumpkins, pick-your-own fields, family-friendly activities, live entertainment and plenty of fall photo ops.
And this isn’t just a pumpkin patch. The month-long fall festival will feature five themed weekends, each with its own lineup of entertainment and activities, plus Halloween Day festivities on October 31.

Some activities, including gem and fossil mining, train rides, animal petting areas, games and crafts, face painting, and the giant bubble, require an additional ticket.

How to get tickets
Weekday tickets are sold at the gate. However, weekend tickets are online only and are sold by date and timed entry.
Underwood Family Farms recommends purchasing tickets before arriving, as walk-in admission isn’t guaranteed on festival weekends.
