A fall festival on a working farm

Most fall festivals bring in hay bales. 4Roots already has the farm. The nonprofit’s 4th Annual Harvest Festival, presented by Disney, runs Saturday, Oct. 24, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at its campus on North John Young Parkway, and it’s free.

Pick it yourself

The headline draw is the U-pick veggie and flower fields, plus a pumpkin patch and a farmers market stocked with fresh produce and local artisanal goods. Local food vendors and live music fill out the morning.

Costumes for everyone, including the dog

Costume contests run in three rounds: kids at 10:30 a.m., groups at 11 a.m. and pets at 11:30 a.m. Prizes go to Funniest, Most Creative and Best Overall, and winners take home gift bags of goods from Packing District businesses.

For the kids

A Kids Zone has a bounce house, a scavenger hunt and face painting, and there are crafts and activities for all ages around the grounds.

Getting there

Parking is free and on site, but 4Roots expects a crowd and encourages carpooling or ridesharing. Earlier is better if you want first pick of the fields.

Why We’re Hyped

It’s a fall festival with something you can’t get at most of them: actual crops to pick, on a farm in the middle of Orlando. Add a pet costume contest and a free price tag, and it’s an easy Saturday-morning plan.
