The Happy Day Farm Fall Festival in Manalapan, New Jersey, is the ultimate spot for fall lovers and thrill-seekers alike! If you’re craving some good old-fashioned farm fun, this is where you need to be this season.
Located at 106 Iron Ore Road, this Shore Region festival packs in more than 35 activities, each one more charming and Instagram-worthy than the last.
Let’s talk highlights: ever tried lassoing a “horse”? No? Well, this is your chance! And don’t forget to stop by Pumpkinville, where your autumn aesthetic will hit its peak—think pumpkin patches, golden fields, and endless photo ops. Of course, no farm festival is complete without a corn maze.
At Happy Day Farm, it’s more than just a stroll; it’s a full-on adventure that will make you feel like you’re living out your best fall movie fantasy.

But wait, there’s more! You can also catch the legendary pig races (yes, they’re as cute as they sound) and enjoy pony rides if you’re bringing kids or feeling particularly whimsical yourself.
The fun slides will have you reliving your childhood in the best way possible. And, let’s be real, fall is all about pumpkins and sunflowers, so don’t miss out on the U-Pick options—whether you want to decorate your porch or your Instagram grid, they’ve got you covered.

Running low on energy after all that fun? Happy Day Farm has the perfect fix. Fuel up with their fresh-squeezed lemonade or grab one of their drool-worthy apple fritters. It’s the fuel you need to keep the fall vibes going strong.
So, pack up your flannel and boots, because this is one festival you don’t want to miss!
