With summer entering its swan song the coming weeks will see leaves begin to change color and those many adored autumnal events start to return for another season of corn mazes, light displays, pumpkin patches, and all sorts of fall fun.
One of the best of these can be found on Goose Island where a roster of exciting seasonal popups offer something new with every changing season and now the popular fall experience ‘Jack’s Pumpkin Pop-Up‘ has returned for its sixth year in Chicago.
Spanning more than 2 acres of land down on the island, guests will once again find Chicago’s largest corn maze, carnival games, photo opportunities, axe throwing, various bars, food trucks, and over ten thousand pumpkins all within the over-the-top outdoor pop-up.
New for this year, attendees will have the chance to compete with friends on dueling mechanical bulls and participate in a riveting mechanical pig race.
Whether you want to get lost in the largest and only cornfield in downtown Chicago, pick from a plethora of prodigious pumpkins, or put on your props and snap those fall memories in front of some creative installations, there is truly something for everybody.
Those with a competitive edge, meanwhile, can go head to head at axe-throwing and the multitude of carnival games before kicking back at one of the many bars afterward.
Chicago’s finest food trucks will also be in attendance, providing an assortment of Chicago’s most delicious grub!
Located at 1265 West LeMoyne, Jack’s Pumpkin Patch Pop-Up is open now through Monday, November 4.
