Central Oregon Fall Fun!

Visiting Central Oregon in autumn is a fall-tastic idea, as the region offers beautiful landscapes, endless outdoor pursuits, and plenty of family-friendly activities!  

Here are two of our favorite fall activities the whole family will enjoy: 

Smith Rock Pumpkin Patch 

Smith Rock Ranch is a working farm that opens to the public September 30th through October 31st offering family-friendly activities like a pumpkin patch, hayrides, a corn maze, face painting, a petting zoo, and so much more! There is even a Bark Park – a fenced area for dogs to play off leash while under owner supervision. Pick up some pumpkins to carve back at your cozy Meredith Lodging vacation rental.  

Be sure to check their calendar for daily operating hours and activities. Certain activities are weather-dependent, so we recommend checking their Facebook page or contacting them directly at 541-504-1414. 

Fall Festival in Bend 

The Fall Festival is a beloved annual Bend tradition, featuring pumpkin painting, the Harvest Market, Family Play Zone, live music and more! 

Friday night kicks off the event with music and food from 5pm-10pm, creating a lively atmosphere for an evening out. On Saturday, the festivities start at 11am and continue into the evening, giving you plenty of time to enjoy the various activities and delicious food options. Sunday provides a more relaxed atmosphere, with the event starting at 11am and running until the late afternoon, making it a great option for families looking to wrap up the weekend with some fun. 

Keep an eye out for the specific event details, including the musical lineup, food vendors, and any unique attractions or special activities that may be part of the festival. 

Both of these fall activities in Central Oregon offer an excellent opportunity to soak in the season’s spirit, enjoy delicious treats, and create lasting memories with friends and family. We can’t wait to see you!
