Downsview Park, Toronto
Toronto’s favourite family-friendly fall event is back! From October 9–12, 2026, PumpkinFest Toronto transforms Downsview Park into a vibrant autumn wonderland packed with entertainment, attractions, and seasonal charm. Open daily from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm, this Thanksgiving weekend festival promises wholesome fun for all ages.
Whether you’re planning a day out with the family or looking for the perfect spot for autumn-themed photos, PumpkinFest offers something for everyone — and it’s all included with admission.
Unmissable Attractions for the Whole Family
PumpkinFest Toronto is a celebration of the season, offering an immersive lineup of attractions designed for a full day of family fun. Admission includes unlimited midway rides and inflatables, including bouncy castles, giant slides and obstacle courses. Little adventurers can also make their way through the inflatable corn maze or hop aboard a trackless train ride.
Families can explore Peter’s Pumpkin Patch, visit the festival’s iconic Pumpkin House and stop at autumn-themed photo ops throughout the grounds. Pumpkins are available to purchase for $5–$15 for visitors who want to bring a little of the harvest home.
Classic Fall Fun Meets Interactive Entertainment
PumpkinFest combines traditional fall activities with midway excitement and live entertainment. Daily stage shows and performances are included with admission, while carnival games with prizes provide another way for families to join the fun.
The festival’s complete 2026 stage schedule has not yet been announced, so visitors should check closer to Thanksgiving weekend for performer and show times.
More Than Just Pumpkins
Food is part of the festival experience, with some of the GTA’s favourite local food trucks serving meals, snacks and seasonal treats throughout the weekend. Food purchases and carnival games are not included with general admission.
Families are also welcome to pack their own picnic lunch or bring snacks and food for younger children. Outside food deliveries, however, are not permitted.

Held at Downsview Park, one of Toronto’s largest urban parks, PumpkinFest offers plenty of space and amenities to make your visit comfortable and enjoyable. Whether you’re a returning guest or a first-time visitor, this family-focused event is the perfect way to celebrate Thanksgiving weekend.
