The Pumpkin Patch at Armature Works

Tampa loves Halloween. Our haunted river tours aboard Pirate Water Taxi are floating theatrical feasts for an intimate audience, and the Haunted Carnival at Armature Works is our favorite new tradition. The 7th Annual Tampa Riverwalk Trick or Treat returns October 28 from 4pm-7pm followed by a Halloween Lighted Boat Parade at 6:30pm along the Hillsborough River.

This free community event gives children and their families a chance to enjoy trick or treating along Tampa’s famed Riverwalk. All the fun takes place from Water Works Park to MacDill Park, with special activities along the way, including a costume contest for kids and pets at Water Works Park at 5pm.

More than 50 local organizations and businesses will host treat stations along the path as well as a pumpkin patch in Curtis Hixon Park. Kids will receive complimentary treat bags at select locations along the Riverwalk (while supplies last). DJs, food trucks and photo ops will be in all three parks.

Armature Works Fall Fest will include a riverfront pumpkin patch from October 14-15, and October 21-22. A spectacular riverfront pumpkin patch and festive autumn treats will give you all the fall feels, even if the 80-degree Florida weather doesn’t. One of Armature’s largest events of the year, Fall Fest now spans two weekends in October, featuring live music performances, a food drive benefiting Metropolitan Ministries and activities for the whole family. Keep your plaid skirts and pumpkin spice lattes on deck, and stand by for details about this year’s Fall Fest.
