Pumpkin season in Hawaiʻi is short, hot, and a little chaotic, and this year it comes with a plot twist. Aloun Farms, the pumpkin patch half of Oʻahu grew up with, is not in Kapolei this October.
We have the new address below, plus every other patch and pumpkin event we could confirm for 2026 on Oʻahu, Maui, and the Big Island. Kauaʻi gets its own section, and it is a tough one this year.
Halloween lands on a Saturday this year, October 31, so the last two weekends of the month are going to be busy. Plan accordingly, and bring cash.

The Short Version
Aloun Farms moved to its Country Market on Kunia Road in Waipahu and runs only two weekends, October 17 to 18 and 24 to 25. Admission is $5.
Waimānalo Country Farms is the one Oʻahu farm patch open every day through Halloween weekend, with sunflowers, a hay ride, and a petting zoo. It costs more than it used to.
Maui has Kula Country Farms, open daily through October 31 for $5. The Big Island has one big pumpkin weekend left, Holoholoween in Hilo on October 17 and 18.
Kauaʻi has no pumpkin patch in 2026. Hurricane Lowell took out the Hanapēpē festival site in September, and the pumpkins are being given away at pop-ups instead.
If you want to carve, wait until October 30. Pumpkins turn to soup in our heat within days of cutting them open, something every family here learns exactly once.
Aloun Farms Pumpkin Patch 2026: New Location, Two Weekends
📍 Aloun Country Market, 94-488 Kunia Rd, Waipahu, HI 96797
This is the 24th year of the Aloun Farms pumpkin patch. For 2026 it has moved off the Kapolei fields and onto the farm’s Country Market property on Kunia Road. The theme this year is “Back to Our Roots,” which feels right for a smaller, simpler setup.
Dates are Saturday and Sunday, October 17 and 18, and again October 24 and 25, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Two weekends, not three, so do not wait for Halloween weekend. It will be over.
Admission is $5 per person at the gate, and keiki two and under get in free. Parking is free and on site, which is a nice change from the long dusty walks of the Kapolei years.
You get pick-your-own pumpkins grown right here on Oʻahu, sunflower fields to wander, the Country Market with fresh produce, and local vendors.
What you do not get this year is the educational field tour, and there are no carnival rides or games. The keiki will not miss them once they are hauling a pumpkin bigger than their head.
One thing to know before you go: a couple of local roundups list this event as free. The farm’s own page says $5, and the farm is the one standing at the gate, so bring the $5.
Kunia Road is a two-lane country road with farm trucks on it. Leave early, go slow, and do not block driveways if the lot backs up. Check the Aloun Farms pumpkin patch page the morning you go in case weather changes anything.
Waimānalo Country Farms: The Patch That Is Open on Halloween
📍 Waimānalo Country Farms, 41-225 Lupe St, Waimānalo, HI 96795
If you can only do one farm this fall with keiki, this is the one. Waimānalo Country Farms runs its Fall Harvest Festival every day through November 11, with the end date depending on how long the sunflowers hold.
The farm opened a few days late this year, on September 29, after storms soaked the fields. Earlier in 2026 a Kona low flooded the property and cut the sunflower field roughly in half, to about 5 acres (2 hectares).
So the fields are a little smaller than you may remember. The flowers are not.
Hours are Monday through Friday 1:00 to 4:00 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Last entry is 4:00 p.m., and the fields and market stands close at 4:30.
Now the money, because it went up. Monday through Thursday, general admission is $12 and kamaʻāina or military with ID pay $10. Friday through Sunday it is $15 general and $12 kamaʻāina or military. Ages three and up pay. Two and under are free.
Those are cash prices. Cards work, but you pay a 3.5 percent fee plus tax on top, so hit the ATM before you drive out to Waimānalo. There is not one at the farm.
Pumpkins are extra, $2 to $30 depending on size, and you pay at the checkout stand on your way out. Sunflowers are $3 a stem from the market stand. You cannot cut your own, so leave the scissors in the car.
Daytime entry is first come, first served, with no reservations. Field trips, picnics, and photo sessions are booking-only, and the farm’s night event, Rustic Nights, was already sold out when we checked.
Admission gets you the slow tractor ride around the farm, the petting zoo, the games, the sunflower field, and the photo spots the farm sets up every year.
The grub stand runs a limited menu on weekdays and the full menu on weekends. The lemonade and cornbread are the reason regulars drive across the island.
No outside food or drinks except water, and no eating in the fields. No pets either, only ADA service dogs.
Parking is the pain point. The lot is small, overflow goes off site with a walk in on busy days, and you drive through a residential subdivision to get there.
Please creep through that neighborhood like your tūtū lives on the corner, because somebody’s does. On the farm the limit is 4 mph (6 km/h), and tall vans should know the clearance is 9.5 feet (2.9 m).
Shade is thin out there and the sun bounces off the dirt, so hats, water, and closed-toe shoes. Weekday afternoons are the calm window. Weekend mornings right at 9:00 a.m. are the next best thing.
The farm closes for bad weather and crop loss with little notice, so check waimanalocountryfarms.com or the farm’s Instagram before you load the car. While you are out that way, the beach down the road is the perfect rinse-off.
More Pumpkin Stops on Oʻahu
These are smaller, shorter, or one-day events, but several of them fit a family schedule better than a full farm day.
Mari’s Gardens Mini Pumpkin Patch, Mililani.
📍 94-415 Makapipipi St, Mililani, HI 96789
Free entry, with pumpkins sold by weight. Open Monday through Saturday 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. through October 31, closed Sundays, while supplies last.
It is a plant nursery with a pumpkin corner, which makes it the lowest-stress photo stop on this list. Parking is limited, so go on a weekday if you can.
Holy Nativity School Great Pumpkin Festival, ʻĀina Haina.
📍 5286 Kalanianaʻole Hwy, Honolulu, HI 96821
One day only, Saturday, October 17, 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Tickets are $10 for ages three and up through SimpleTix, and two and under are free.
The ticket includes a mini pumpkin, a petting zoo, a silent disco, and live entertainment. Games, rides, and face painting run on scrip. This is the 14th year, and East Honolulu families treat it as the start of the season.
ʻOnoFest and Fall Expo, Blaisdell Exhibition Hall. Saturday and Sunday, October 17 and 18, from 10:00 a.m. Admission is $6.50, and keiki 12 and under are free. There is a keiki pumpkin patch inside, which makes it the only air-conditioned pumpkin patch on this island.
Mary Star of the Sea Fall Festival.
📍 4470 Aliikoa St, Honolulu, HI 96821
Friday, October 23, 5:00 to 9:00 p.m. It is $10 for ages three and up, and that gets you $10 of scrip plus a Halloween bag.
Trunk-or-treat, pony rides, a petting zoo, and a pumpkin patch. The church asks you to pre-order scrip by October 19 on its site, with walk-ins only if there is room.
Ward Village Halloween Celebration and Pumpkin Patch, Kakaʻako.
📍 Victoria Ward Park, 1020 Auahi St, Honolulu, HI 96814
Saturday, October 24, 10:00 a.m. to noon. Free, with complimentary pumpkins, face painting, and pumpkin-spice malasadas while supplies last. “While supplies last” at a free pumpkin event means be there at 10:00.
Haunted Hoʻopili, ʻEwa Beach.
📍 91-3575 Kauluakoko St, ʻEwa Beach, HI 96706
Saturday, October 24, 5:00 to 9:00 p.m., free, with free pumpkins while supplies last. Good for West Side families who do not want to drive to town.
Hoa ʻĀina O Mākaha Halloween U-Pick, Waiʻanae.
📍 84-225 Ala Naʻauao Pl, Waiʻanae, HI 96792
On Halloween morning itself, Saturday, October 31, 8:00 a.m. to noon. Free, no registration, and donations are welcome for the produce you pick.
Keiki pick fruit, vegetables, and kalo, decorate mini pumpkins, and get their faces painted. Costumes are encouraged, and you park at Mākaha Elementary. Details are on the farm’s events page.
Kuilima Farm Fall Festival, Kahuku. The Turtle Bay farm has run a free fall festival with mini pumpkins and pony rides the past few years. In 2025 it landed the second weekend of November.
As of today the 2026 date is not posted. Watch kuilimafarm.com, and do not plan a North Shore day around it yet.
A few favorites are not happening or are already pau for 2026. Kualoa Ranch, Kahuku Farms, and Dole Plantation are not running pumpkin events this year as far as we can find. The Kroc Center’s floating pumpkin patch and the Sea Life Park and Waikīkī Aquarium underwater carving nights were all early October.
Maui: Kula Country Farms
📍 Kula Country Farms, 6240 Kula Hwy, Kula, HI 96790
Kula Country Farms is the pumpkin patch on Maui, full stop. It sits roughly 3,000 feet (900 m) up the slope of Haleakalā. The air is cool, the view runs all the way to the ocean, and the pumpkins look like they belong there.
The patch is open every day in October, October 1 through 31, from 9:00 a.m. with the gates closing at 3:45 p.m. Admission is $5 per person, three and under free, cash or card, no checks. Pumpkins are priced by size, and the farm also sells marigolds and a limited number of sunflowers.
There is no online ticket and no timed entry. You drive up, you pay, you grab a wagon if one is free. Wagons go first come, so bring your own cart if you have one.
On weekends, park in the pasture on Kula Highway, the next right past the farm stand, and follow the banners. Restrooms on the farm are limited, so use the public ones across the street at the park first.
Weekdays you get snacks and drinks, including the Kula strawberry lemonade. Weekends bring food vendors. There are no drinking fountains and only a few picnic tables, so pack water and plan lunch somewhere else Upcountry.
Besides the pumpkins there is a children’s garden, farm animals you can look at but not feed, a sunflower patch, and photo spots. Closed-toe shoes are the rule, and leashed dogs are welcome, which is rare for a patch.
On Halloween day the farm stand stays open until noon to sell off whatever pumpkins are left, then the season is done.
One wrinkle for teachers: the farm’s own FAQ says no school or group tours this year, while the site still links a field trip form. Call before you book a bus.
Hurricane Lowell’s Maui County damage in September was mostly on Lānaʻi, and the farm has posted no storm notice. Still, Upcountry weather turns fast in October, so check the Kula Country Farms pumpkin patch page before the drive up.
Nothing else on Maui is a true patch. Maui Ocean Center’s Fins and Frights on October 24 has a bring-your-own pumpkin decorating contest, and that is about it.
Big Island: Holoholoween in Hilo
📍 Panaʻewa Equestrian Center, 800 Stainback Hwy, Hilo, HI 96720
Holoholoween Fall Fest and Pumpkin Patch is the Big Island’s one real pumpkin weekend, and it is this weekend. Saturday and Sunday, October 17 and 18, 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. This is the sixth year, and it has grown into a full fall fair.
Admission for ages five and up is $8 presale online or $10 at the gate. Four and under are free. No refunds, and parking is free.
The pumpkins are $20 each, Hawaiʻi grown by Aloun Farms and shipped over, then set out in a patch on the racetrack so keiki can pick their own. The daily supply is limited and first come, so either preorder online at holoholoween.com or get there at opening.
Admission covers the magic show, the keiki game area and maze, HPD keiki IDs, a fire truck to climb on, live bands, dancers, and aerialists.
Hay rides are $4 presale or $5 at the door. The bounce castle is $5 for five minutes or $20 all day, and pony rides and the petting zoo are a separate fee.
Around 40 food and craft vendors fill the grounds, a few flown in from Oʻahu. The event is drug, alcohol, and smoke free, and service animals only.
The Waimea Fall Festival already happened on October 10, and we could not find a Kona-side patch for 2026. If you are in Hilo this weekend, our Hilo guide has the rainy-day backups.
Kauaʻi: No Patch This Year, and Why
We looked hard, and the answer is no. Hurricane Lowell hit Kauaʻi on September 7 and 8, and the island is still cleaning up.
The south and west sides took storm surge. The Hanapēpē site of the Harvest Festival, the island’s free pumpkin tradition, was damaged badly enough that the festival was cancelled.
Instead, Friends of Agriculture gave away about 500 of those pumpkins at a free Family Fun Day at Puhi Park on October 4. The group said more pumpkin pop-ups are planned before Halloween, but no dates were published as of mid-October 2026. The Garden Island’s report on the giveaway has the background.
Grove Farm has done a late-October pumpkin giveaway in Līhuʻe in past years, and Kukui Grove Center normally hosts a Halloween festival. Neither had posted a 2026 pumpkin date when we checked.
Visiting Kauaʻi this month? Buy a pumpkin at a grocery store, carve it on the lānai, and put your energy into the trick-or-treat events that are running. Our safe trick-or-treating guide has the Kauaʻi list. And check kauai.gov for recovery updates before heading to the south or west side parks.
Pumpkin Patch Tips for Hawaiʻi Families
Go early or go late. Every patch on this list is hottest and most crowded between 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Weekday afternoons at Waimānalo and weekday mornings at Kula are the sweet spots.
Bring cash. Most of these farms are small family operations, and the card fee at Waimānalo alone pays for a sunflower.
Pumpkins do not love Hawaiʻi. An uncarved pumpkin on a shaded lānai will last a few weeks. A carved one lasts about three days before the fruit flies find it. Carve on October 30, and keep it out of direct sun.
Dress the keiki for a farm, not a photo shoot. Closed-toe shoes beat slippers in a field with vines and tractor ruts, and a white costume will not be white when you leave. Bring a change of clothes for the car.
Farms are working businesses with a lot of visitors in a few short weeks. Stay out of roped-off rows, do not pick anything you are not paying for, and keep keiki off the tractors unless you are on the ride.
The farmers remember the families who are easy, and they welcome them back year after year.
Want to pair the patch with trick-or-treating? The two posts are built to work together. Hit a patch the weekend of October 24, then use our trick-or-treat guide for Halloween night.
