As the leaves begin to turn and crisp, cool air stirs the senses, Bowers School Farm invites friends and families to its beloved Fall Festival Weekends throughout October. Nestled in Bloomfield Hills, the farm transforms into a vibrant celebration of the season—full of laughter, discovery, and wholesome fun. Each Saturday (10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.), guests can wander through a corn maze, visit farm animals, ride in a wagon, enjoy live music, and indulge in hearty farm-fresh food. Children can delight in face painting and bouncing on the pad, while families can explore the beautiful grounds together.
One of the festival’s highlights is the corn maze, where guests of all ages can test their sense of direction among tall stalks, making memories and maybe even finding a hidden surprise. The wagon rides carry visitors across gentle fields, offering scenic views and a quiet chance to soak in autumn’s palette. On the farm, animals mingle close, and visitors have the opportunity to feed or pet them—an especially joyful experience for younger guests or anyone who relishes animal encounters.
For those seeking a more grown-up touch, the festival offers a Beer Garden, sponsored by Friends of Bowers Farm and Griffin Claw Brewing Company. While the kids play and families explore, adults can relax with a draft beer or hard cider in hand, chatting and enjoying the farm ambiance. The event is supported by Mobile Recreation Units from Oakland County Parks, which bring additional entertainment and recreation to the grounds. Admission is priced at $17 for the general public and $7 for farm members.
Whether you’re looking to make memories with little ones, spend a fun day out with friends, or simply immerse yourself in the warmth of autumn, Bowers School Farm Fall Festival Weekends offer something special for everyone. Mark your calendar, bring your appetite, and come ready to embrace the season in full color and community spirit.
