Best Havre de Grace-Area Pumpkin Patches 2020

HAVRE DE GRACE, MD — Along with crisp air and turning leaves, a fall tradition for many families is a visit to a local pumpkin patch. While the coronavirus pandemic of 2020 has caused some of the region's pumpkin patches to modify how they operate, quite a few will be open this fall. We have hours, attractions and activities as the pumpkin-picking season ramps up.

In many cases, coronavirus precautions have merely changed — not shut down — area pumpkin patches and their entertainment options.
