ALOUN FARM: Pumpkin Festival 2019

Celebrate the fall season in Aloun Farm featuring self-pick (dozen varieties of pumpkin, sunflowers, string beans, sweet corn), petting zoo, tractor hayrides, local kine grinds, live entertainment, carnival games and pony rides on its 19th Annual Pumpkin Festival.

Halloween is slowly sneaking up on us, and now that there’s a cooler weather it is the time to bring the family and head out to a pumpkin patch. Here in Aloun Farm located in the island of Oahu, people are lucky enough to have a festival like this, as the whole family will have fun and little keikis (kid) will have the opportunity to savor more with this fun-filled outdoor activity.

Currently, Aloun Farms provides full-time employment to 180 people and has expanded production to approximately 3,000 acres. In order to sustain the support of Hawaii’s agriculture industry they have implemented school-to-work programs, educational farm visits and practical training for FFA high school students. And regard with this, annually they hosts the biggest Pumpkin Festival on the island.

Juander Tips & Reminders

• Be there as early as 08:30 a.m. Even though it’s fall season, you cannot still deny the fact that the heat is still up strongly. Organizers say that usually by 10 a.m. there is already a queue to get in.
• Dress properly. It is an outdoor activity so expect no shade at most times and red dirt all the way. Wear clothes that you don’t get mind getting dirty & a pair of rubber shoes. Spat on sunscreen to protect your skin from sunburn. Do not forget to bring hat/visor for additional protection.
• Stay hydrated. The last time we went, we didn’t find any free refill stations. If you want to save a bit, bring water bottled with you.
• Bring cash with you. Those keiki fun zone aren’t free and they only accept cash. I didn’t notice any ATM around the area, so better keep cash on wallet before heading here.
• Bring wagon for pumpkin. For an easy hauling of pumpkins around it is better to bring your own wagon/cart.
• Donate, Save & Win. Bring two garbage-size bags of gently used clothing & receive FREE ENTRY.
• Last but definitely not the least, please observe the number one principle at all times, the “LEAVE-NO-TRACE-POLICY”.
