Siemers Farm on Green Bluff is having their annual Fall Festival, where there's fun for all. We're not like most pumpkin patches! You'll find FREE parking complete with crossing guards; and a day FULL of activities. There are surprises around every corner along with free line dancing lessons, interactive shows plus catch pirate and princess characters around the farm. We're home to Washington State's first and oldest funning corn and hedge mazes that lead to the 3-story castle, and the train tour around the farm is a staple here. Little ones enjoy the life-size pirate ship playground and Little Toot bucket ride. In the pumpkin patch you'll find delights that will make you smile such as "town" themed destinations to explore with games, tractors, and family photo stations! See a full list of our activities on our social media (FB & IG). For all of this and more, we require an entry fee during October weekends. September festival dates are free entry and FUN Wristband is optional. Come make a day of it, you absolutely will not be disappointed.
September 19 - November 1Friday - Sunday *Weekends Only*10am-5pm$10 cash, $12 online & card, plus tax, 2 & under free
*Opening Day starts on a Saturday.

Duo exhibition featuring painter E.L. Stewart and woodturner Connor Kelly. Stewart’s A Little Bit of Both, Not Enough of Either explores color, contrast, shape, and playful tension through layered paintings. Kelly’s wood-turned vessels highlight the natural beauty, grain, and character of wood through carefully crafted forms. Together, their work creates a dynamic dialogue between paint and wood, surface and form, and experimentation and precision.
