While mainland America experiences all things autumn, including apple orchards, haunted attractions, fall foliage, and chilly weather, those of us who call Hawaii home can get a little bummed when the only seasonal change is a drop in the ocean temperature, increased rain, or a Starbucks cup print. Well, I have fantastic news for everyone who either misses seasons or wishes you were able to experience them, ever: leeward Oahu is home to its very own pumpkin festival.
Nestled on leeward Oahu in Kapolei on more than 3,000 acres is Aloun Farms, a family farm that started out on just five acres and now provides families across the island with local, fresh produce you won’t find anywhere else — including Ewa sweet corn, beans, and even pumpkins!

That’s right, in addition to being one of the largest farms on the island, Aloun Farms is also home to a fun-filled family event that brings autumn to the residents of Oahu.

In addition to choosing from more than a dozen varieties of pumpkins straight off the vine, you will also have the chance to harvest your own corn, beans, and sunflowers.
