Lentini Farms opens its Fall Fest tonight, Friday, October 2, 2026, and the festival runs through Sunday, October 25, at 251 High Street in Newton. Friday hours are 4 PM to 10 PM, Saturday hours are 11 AM to 10 PM, and Sunday hours are 11 AM to 4 PM. The farm says last entry is 30 minutes before closing.

The farm lists a corn maze, sunflower fields and pumpkin picking as the headline attractions, along with hayrides, games, food vendors and live music. Add-on experiences such as flower making and pumpkin painting are also offered. Guests receive a wristband at the gate, and the farm says general admission is required for everyone who comes to the festival. Children under 3 are complimentary.

After dark, the farm runs Haunted Hayrides on Fridays and Saturdays from October 2 through October 24, 2026, from 7 PM to 10 PM. There are no reservations, and each ticket covers one ride only. Rides operate weather permitting, so it is smart to check the farm’s Instagram and Facebook pages, both @lentinifarms, before you drive out on a rainy night.

The U-pick pumpkin field keeps its own hours. The farm lists Friday from 4 PM to 8 PM and Sunday from 12 PM to 4 PM. Its ticket page also mentions Saturday, but the wording is unclear, so we suggest confirming Saturday hours with the farm. The farm is closed Monday through Thursday for private events, which means Fall Fest is a Friday through Sunday outing only.

Ticket prices are not posted publicly. The farm’s ticketing page shows costs only when you select your event and begin checkout, so we cannot give a dollar amount. You can start there on the Lentini Farms 2026 festival ticket page, where you can choose between the Fall Fest and the haunted hayrides.

For general information, visit the Lentini Farms website, call (973) 579-2424 or email lentinifarmsevents@gmail.com. The farm has also noted that its Harvest Festival weekend on September 26 and 27 was canceled because of weather, so this weekend is the start of the main Fall Fest season.
