The Autumn Lands festival will be held on Saturday, Oct. 25, and will feature all things autumn with seasonal foods, music, entertainment and activities for all ages.
Vikings, scarecrows, circus performers, magicians and more are coming to Historic Smithville Park for the latest Autumn Lands, Burlington County’s celebration of the fall season.
The Autumn Lands festival will be held at Smithville Park in Eastampton on Saturday, Oct. 25, from 1 to 6 p.m. The free festival features all things autumn with seasonal foods, music, entertainment and activities for all ages.
Among the featured entertainment and activities planned for this year’s festival is a Dark Carnival Quest, an all-ages, live-action roleplaying game organized by the Pirates of Fortune’s Folly troupe. There will also be a Viking encampment featuring re-enactors and crafts employed by the marauders.
Another popular attraction is the Autumn Winds Gothic Circus Show, which combines circus tricks from around the globe with death-defying stunts that will leave you in awe, or view a selection of spooky silent films and magic lantern shows.
Brave visitors can also venture into Autumn Lands’ Choose Your Own Adventure Maze, and crafters can participate in a make-your-own-corn-husk-doll activity.
Visitors will also get to vote for their favorite scarecrow on display along Park Avenue in Smithville, and enjoy scores of other fall activities, including pumpkin painting, leaf pressing and bonfire s’mores, plus magic shows, craft demonstrations, live music, a beer garden, food trucks and plenty more.
