The pumpkin festival at Potironnerie is a great way to welcome fall! Lots of pumpkins and a tractor ride for the kids – we had to go back 🙂
Overview
There are pumpkins everywhere! And the kids get a tractor ride 🙂

Keep an eye on the website, as they stop accepting visitors once the pumpkins are over!
There are tons of pumpkins in all shapes and colors you can imagine

Apart from the tractor ride the kids get, there is also a small tractor that kids can play with

Practical stuff
*Bring a bag for pumpkins or other vegetables (there are also beans to pick yourself)
*Cash or Bancontact
*Wear rain boots, as it can get muddy
The entrance is free and you do not need to reserve a spot. You can park in the streets nearby. This is a stroller friendly activity, but keep in mind it can get muddy in the fields
