Fall Fest Weekend in Burlington County: Where to Go Sept. 26–27

Fall has officially arrived in Burlington County! If you’re looking for pumpkins, hayrides, costumed pups, and a reason to get the whole family outside this weekend, here are six local events to put on your calendar.

1. Evesham Harvest Fest, Marlton (Saturday)
This is one of the biggest fall events in the county. This year’s event takes place Saturday, Sept. 26, 2026 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Main Street in Evesham Township (Marlton). It draws a crowd of more than 20,000, with family activities, live music, and lots of exhibitors, rain or shine. Parking tip: in past years, a shuttle has run from the Cherokee HS lots to the festival site, so check the township page for this year’s details.

2. Mount Holly Fall Fest & Howl-O-Ween Pet Pawrade (Saturday)
Grab the pup and the kids! It runs in downtown Mount Holly on Saturday, September 26, from 11 AM to 4 PM. Pets can be registered through Zeffy, and costumes are encouraged. Beyond the parade, there’s a downtown trick-or-treat and scavenger hunt, pumpkin decorating, games and kids’ activities, food trucks, and pet-friendly photo stations. It supports a good cause, too: part of the Pawrade proceeds goes to Hissy Hut, a Mount Holly-based rescue under Friends of the Burlington County Animal Shelter, and you can meet adoptable animals at “Adoption Alley.”

3. Chesterfield Township Harvest Festival (Saturday)
This is a big one for the hometown crowd. The 10th annual Chesterfield Township Harvest Festival is on Saturday, September 26, 2026, from 12pm to 4pm. Ten years in, it’s a great way to see what small-town Chesterfield is all about.

4. Johnson’s Corner Farm Harvest Festival, Medford (Sat & Sun)
You can’t do fall in Medford without Johnson’s. They host harvest festivals every weekend through October, with hayrides to pick pumpkins, gourds, sweet potatoes, and popcorn, plus live music, a festival food tent, gem mining, duck races, a corn maze, and the Discovery Barnyard. Two pro tips: the farm strongly recommends buying tickets online ahead of time because peak times sell out, and spring frost damage means there are no apples to pick this year.

5. Fall Harvest Festival at Johnson’s Locust Hall Farm, Jobstown (Sat & Sun)
Want apples? Head to Jobstown. Locust Hall offers hayrides, apple and pumpkin picking, sunflower fields, flowers, and a corn maze. This weekend could be your last chance for some varieties: frost has limited the apple supply, and Empire and Red Delicious are only listed through 9/27. Heads up that Johnson’s Corner Farm tickets and passes are not valid at Locust Hall. The two farms are separate businesses.

6. Lunar Faire Night Market: Zodiac, Bordentown area (Saturday night)
For something a little spookier, the Lunar Faire Night Market lands at Liberty Lake Day Camp on Saturday, Sept. 26 at 5 PM. It’s an outdoor pop-up market of creative vendors, with crystals, candles, performances, and tarot readings, and it’s the perfect warm-up for Halloween season.

Save the Date: Next Weekend
The fun keeps going. Shamong Day is Saturday, Oct. 3, and the Bordentown Cranberry Festival and the Whitesbog Harvest Festival both run Oct. 3–4.
