Venetucci Farm Autumn on the Farm

Autumn on the Farm at Venetucci Farm in Colorado Springs continues the pumpkin tradition of Nick and Bambi Venetucci on grounds described as 90 years of tradition. Grounds admission opens the picnic tables, the farm store, a concession stand with Pikes Peak Lemonade and Josh & John's Ice Cream, a spooky trail, hayride, hay pyramid, photo areas, yard games, and a makers market inside the red barn. Each 2026 weekend has a theme: Oktoberfest with a German Biergarten and stein-holding contest, Great Pumpkin Weekend, Scarecrows & Flannel, Witches & Wizards, and a Costume Party & Pup-Kin Fest, the only weekend dogs are allowed. The farm's kindergarten pumpkin program also continues, rooted in Mr. Venetucci's one rule that each child carried a pumpkin back to the bus themselves.

Our take: Match your visit to a themed weekend if you want the Biergarten, scarecrow row, or the costume-and-dog closer rather than a generic patch day.
