Whether it’s a pumpkin spice drink, Halloween-themed decor in and outside of your home, or the shade of color you’ve chosen to wear this month, a lot of people are seeing orange these days. Also, don’t let anyone tell you that nothing rhymes with orange because Blorenge (a small mountain in Wales) and sporange (a technical word for a sac where spores are made) totally do.
It’s also a great time of year to visit a nearby pumpkin patch or pumpkin-filled parking lot. It’s a two-for-one when it comes to supporting local farms and adding to the festivities at your home.

It’s possible you’ve seen this pop-up pumpkin shop on the south side of Broadway Boulevard. During the month of December, they’re selling Christmas trees but throughout the month of October, you’ll find loads of pumpkins. Chances are you’ll see some farm animals strolling around, too. The hours are subject to change from now until Halloween, but currently, they’re open daily from 10 a.m. – 8 p.m.
Sure, the Marana Pumpkin Patch & Farm Festival consists of picking your own pumpkin from a field, but it’s much more than that. Think of it as a mini amusement park. It’s at least a 30-minute drive outside of Tucson and aside from the pumpkin patch, the family-friendly farm includes a couple of corn mazes, a petting zoo, pig races, jumping castles, a zip line, train rides, photo opportunities, and plenty more.
The patch is open now until Sunday, October 27. Tickets range from $20 to $25.
