๐ŸŽƒ 24 hours. Set your alarm!

Pumpkin patch tickets go on sale tomorrow, Sunday August 30 at 5:00PM sharp. The patch opens Saturday, September 12.

Here is what your day looks like once you are through the gate:

Wagon rides rolling through the fields all day, every day. Our barnyard educational exhibit, open every day, because meeting a goat is a core childhood memory. The U-Pick veggie patch, where kids pull their own carrots and Japanese turnips straight out of the ground and then refuse to let go of them. The pumpkin cannon, Friday through Sunday. The games area with face painting, arts and crafts, Farmer Mini Golf, Duck-A-Palooza, Spooky Splat, Mini ATV and the Bee Train. And Tanaka Grill, open Wednesday through Sunday.

Then there is the part we look forward to all year. Rows and rows of pumpkins still on the vine, waiting for someone to pick the exact right one.

One heads up. We run on timed entry, so every visit gets its own time slot. Weekend mornings and golden hour fill up the fastest, so grab your time when the link goes live instead of waiting for the week you want to visit.

๐Ÿงก Tickets tomorrow at 5PM. Link in bio.

Natsu matsuri means โ€œsummer festivalโ€ in Japanese! ๐Ÿฎ

All across Japan from July through September, neighborhoods light the lanterns, fire up the taiko drums, and carry a mikoshi (a portable shrine) through the streets. It started centuries ago as a way to pray for a good harvest and honor the people who came before.

Ours is a little different. It happens on a working farm, the mikoshi are built by OCO Club kids (including the littlest ones, who make their own mini version), and it all supports their youth programs.

๐Ÿ“… Saturday, August 29
๐Ÿ•“ 4 to 9 pm
๐Ÿ“ Tanaka Farms, Irvine

Free admission! Just grab a parking pass at the link in bio and use code TFmatsuri for $5 off.
