Bengtson's pumpkin farm and fall fest

On 12 October 2026, Bengtson’s Pumpkin Farm and Fall Fest in Homer Glen, Illinois, reported a record-breaking turnout for the first half of its autumn season. As the farm enters the final stretch of its 2026 operations, management highlighted the continued popularity of its signature attractions, including the sprawling pumpkin patch, the elaborate corn maze, and the mechanical amusement rides that draw thousands of families from across the Chicago suburbs. This year, the farm introduced several new seasonal food offerings and expanded its petting zoo area, which have been met with positive feedback from visitors. Despite unseasonably warm temperatures earlier in the month, the farm remains fully operational and expects high attendance through the remainder of October. Staff members are currently focusing on maintaining the quality of the pumpkin harvest and ensuring that all safety protocols remain in place for the upcoming Halloween weekend. The farm is scheduled to conclude its 2026 Fall Fest season on 31 October, marking the end of another successful year of agritourism and community-focused seasonal entertainment.
