The Tolay Fall Festival presents two weekends of old-time, nature-based fun at Tolay Lake Regional Park southeast of Petaluma.
More than just a pumpkin patch, the Tolay Fall Festival is a seasonal celebration of the beauty and history of this special park. Fall Festival activities are low-key, hands-on and educational by design.

- Venture into the "Creepy Crawly Room," where tarantulas and scorpions glow under black lights
- Take a hayride to a pumpkin patch and find the perfect Halloween pumpkin
- Enjoy Alaguali cultural activities, including basketry, flint knapping, and acorn processing
- Try farm activities like wool-carding and candle-dipping
- Enter the World-Record Pumpkin-Seed Spitting Contest
- Join hands-on demonstrations in archery, astronomy and nature photography
- Compete in gunnysack races. Find your way through a straw maze. Pet barnyard animals
- Sample food and desserts from local vendors or bring a picnic
