The Dripping Springs Pumpkin Festival is held at the Dr. Pound Historical Farmstead, a Texas State Historical Landmark, which is also included on the National Register of Historic Places. Originally settled in 1854, the farmstead is nestled on five beautifully shaded, oak-filled acres, making it the perfect setting for a fall celebration.

Bring out the family and experience 6 uniquely-themed Weekends of unlimited fun with over 50 fall-inspired games, activities, and attractions. Enjoy live music presented by iHeart's KASE 101 and Anne Hudson, a courtyard marketplace featuring family-friendly products, and an incredible selection of seasonal foods and beverages for children and adults alike. You'll also find an abundance of photo opportunities throughout our pumpkin patch, so don't forget your cameras.
