Bringing the Pumpkin Patch to Downtown Boise
Fall is moving into Green Acres!
We're bringing a little bit of that classic pumpkin patch and fall festival feeling to downtown Boise, with the Greenbelt as our backdrop and all the things you already love about Green Acres mixed in. Grab some food, meet up with friends, bring the kids, bring the dog and settle in for a full weekend of fall fun.
Fall Activities
We're packing the weekend with hands-on activities for kids, adults and everyone in between. Some activities will be happening all weekend, while others have a specific day and time.
Free Pumpkin Painting
Grab a pumpkin and get creative! Pumpkin painting will be available throughout the weekend and is free for guests. A big thank you to Smith Horras, P.A. Injury Attorneys for sponsoring this activity and helping us make it happen.
Build Your Own Spooky Slime
Pick your color, glitter and other fun elements, then make your own spooky slime to take home.

The Happy Hour Homemaker will host a fall-themed doormat painting class for adults. Come make your own custom doormat to take home.

Fall Food + Drinks
Come hungry! We’ll have multiple food trucks serving throughout the weekend, along with a few food vendors bringing some extra fall goodness to the park. Our regular Green Acres food trucks will be joined by seasonal treats and special fall menu items, including:
Sugar House Sweets: Fall-themed cake pops
DeLisle’s DeLights: Gourmet caramel apples
The Lemon Cow: Special fall ice cream flavors. Think apple cinnamon, hazelnut, coffee and caramel vibes
Loving Lefse: A brown butter pumpkin latte, spiced apple pie matcha and more seasonal drinks
The Green Acres Bar: Special fall libations, apple cinnamon cider anyone?? Cheers!
Fall Everywhere You Look
We're transforming the park for the season with pumpkins, hay bales and fall decorations throughout the space. There will be plenty of photo-worthy spots around the park, so come ready to document your fall era.
Whether you're taking a family photo, grabbing a picture with your friends or just looking for a good backdrop for that very important pumpkin patch selfie, there will be plenty of places to stop and snap a photo.
