Autumn brings pumpkin patches to life in the Marblehead area.

(Autumn Johnson/Patch)

MARBLEHEAD, MA — The Marblehead area is filled with fun family traditions in the autumn: cool nights around a bonfire, the first sip of hot apple cider and the yearly trek to nearby pumpkin patches to find the best pumpkin.

Early October can be a great time to pick up pumpkins before the October rush. Plus, many pumpkin patches offer free hayrides, corn mazes and games for kids.

Visiting an outdoor pumpkin field is fairly safe, but mask and social distancing guidelines and hours of operation may change. Before you go, it's best to call ahead to the field or check its website.
