4. Fall Time is Pumpkin Time
Other Fall attractions, like Fall Days at the Calgary Farmyard (starts Sept. 1) have tonnes of family-friendly events, including pumpkin photo ops and a corn maze. Granary Road also has their Pumpkin Fest, and WinSport’s Pumpkins After Dark event is definitely worth a visit! If Halloween is your thing, check out Screamfest’s epic haunted house at Stampede Park.
