Join us on Saturday, October 25, 2025, as Dixon Family Farm in Mechanicsville transforms into a fall wonderland for our first annual Pumpkin Festival! Pick the perfect pumpkin from our patch, enjoy live music, shop from talented local artisans, and delicious eats from food trucks. Families can enjoy face painting, cookie decorating, a bounce house, trick-or-treat trail, juggling & magic shows, and more. Grown-ups won’t miss out—try your hand at axe throwing or take in our engaging farm talks and beekeeper demonstrations - or come just for the music! We have booked the renowned Knuckle Dusters! Get ready for toe-tapping, high-energy Americana! The Knuckle Dusters light up the stage with fiddle, mandolin, and stand-up bass, weaving bluegrass, old-time, swing, and roots music into a lively set perfect for festival crowds. Their upbeat sound and down-home vibe make them a crowd favorite wherever they play. Each guest will receive a welcome bag and a coupon for our Farm Store, where you’ll find handcrafted bath, body, and home goods made with botanicals grown right here on the farm. Come dressed in your Halloween costumes, enjoy a day of fun on Maryland’s only waterfront lavender and flower farm, and make this a new fall tradition with your family. The Pumpkin Festival is a rain or shine event.
