We've all heard the saying "turn into a pumpkin" and in the case of Cortland, downtown will be turned into a pumpkin wonderland for two days. The 26th annual Great Cortland Pumpkinfest ranked number 9 on the 10Best list.

This festival has tons of activities for everyone to enjoy, like hayrides, a craft market, and of course, lots of pumpkins. Kids can have a blast at the petting zoo, take pony rides, and enjoy all the fun in the special Kid Zone.
Adults can grab a drink at the Pumpkin Pub, enjoy the live music, and check out the amazing fall creations from over 50 local crafters. What's a Fall Festival without delicious food from the local vendors? It's the perfect way to celebrate fall.
