At Island Pineapple Realty, one of our favorite things about fall is seeing our Space Coast community come alive with seasonal events. We may still have sunshine, palm trees, and beach days, but there’s no shortage of ways to enjoy the season locally.
From pumpkin patches and fall markets to hayrides, corn mazes, art festivals, farm adventures, and even some fall flavors with a space-themed twist, there’s plenty happening around Brevard County and just beyond.
Here are some of our favorite fall festivities on the Space Coast for 2026!
🍂 Harris Establishment Farms Fall Festival
Harris Establishment Farms is one of the best places locally to get the full fall-farm experience. Pick out the perfect pumpkin, wander through the crop maze, take a wagon ride, visit and feed the farm animals, stroll through the flower fields, and take advantage of plenty of fall photo opportunities.
This year's festival runs longer than ever, making it easy to fit a trip to the farm into your fall calendar.
Date: September 10 – November 1, 2026

Fall on the Space Coast
One of the things we love most about living here is that there's always something happening in our community. Fall may look a little different when it's spent in flip-flops, but between pumpkin patches, local farms, hayrides, festivals, art, food, and evenings outside, there's still plenty to celebrate.
We hope this list gives you a few ideas for getting out, trying something new, and enjoying everything our community has to offer this season.
At Island Pineapple Realty, we're grateful to call the Space Coast home—and we hope you'll find another reason to Love Where You Live this fall. 🍍
