Fall is almost here, and stores are filled with Halloween decorations. The local pumpkin patches are opening soon, and it’s only 3 weeks to the 2023 Pumpkin Plunge in Carlsbad.

 

This popular annual floating pumpkin patch is held at the Alga Norte Aquatics Center in South Carlsbad (La Costa area), at 6565 Alicante Road (at the corner of Poinsettia Lane), on Saturday October 14th from 5:00 to 8:00 pm. (photo below)

It's very popular and I believe it sells out each year. Lots of fun for all as the Halloween season ramps up.

This sounds like a very fun event and reminds me that I need to reach out to Sharon Tara for my Halloween costume this year!

Sharon Tara

Brian England  Any idea what you would like to be this year???

Sep 22, 2023 07:59 AM
Brian England

Hmm, Sharon Tara maybe the Angel Gabriel?  Or whatever is popular right now, haha.  I am not very good at picking out costumes.

Sharon Tara

Brian England Angel Gabriel is a unique one. 

"whatever is popular right now"  would be Ken from the Barbie movie. LOL

I didn't find much to work with for Gabriel. As much as I would love to make you Ken...I think I have found something that you would prefer.

Stay tuned!

Good morning Jeff. My grandson is not quite old enough to participate in this type of event but he would be all in as soon as he is big enough to participate. Enjoy your day.

I bet there are plenty of local kids who are not quite there yet as far as age.

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Hi Jeff, 

I think your area is the only one I have heard of with a floating pumpkin patch.  What a great idea.

Hi Sheri Sperry - MCNE® 

It was news to me when I first heard about it. We've never gone but it would be fun to see - the photos are kinda cool.

I did a search on Google and there are actually quite a number of floating pumpkin patches in California!
