The fall season shines at Cheekwood Estate & Gardens with an explosion of pumpkins and chrysanthemums and special events for the whole family. The return of Cheekwood Harvest brings a chance to stroll through the stunning display of fall colors, capture the perfect harvest photo, tap your toes to music in the beer garden and pick out a pumpkin to take home and carve.
Cheekwood Harvest runs from September 14 until October 27, 2024. The centerpiece of the seasonal festival is the Pumpkin Village on Arboretum Lawn. More than 75,000 pumpkins in various colors including orange, light pink, green and white will decorate the landscape, while more than 4,000 chrysanthemums will add an extra pop of fall color. Guests can snap a photo in front of three houses made of pumpkins featuring thatch and cedar roofs adorned with chartreuse Ipomoea vines. A wide variety of pumpkins will be available for purchase.
For the second year in a row, a P’mumkin Topiary will provide another striking photo
backdrop. The eight-foot-wide and nine-foot-tall pumpkin-shaped structure is made of
more than 500 vibrant orange zest mums.
Another familiar favorite, the Community Scarecrow Trail, returns and guests can visit
the Turner Seasons Garden to see how local artists, organizations and schools turn
ordinary frames into incredible works of art. This year’s theme is all about the colors of
the rainbow. See imaginative scarecrow creations that “Personify a Color.”

Cheekwood Harvest is presented by Tractor Supply.
