Hey, South Jersey!

Fall is officially in full swing, and this weekend has a little of everything: a corn maze you tackle in the dark, harvest festivals in nearly every direction, bagpipes in Smithville, and kites over the beach. If you've got Monday off, you've got three days to play with. Here's where we'd go.

🔦 FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9

Flashlight Corn Maze at Coombs Barnyard | 6:30 PM (last entry 8:30 PM) | $10 per person | 20 Route 77, Elmer

Bring a flashlight and a little teamwork. The maze takes about 30 to 45 minutes, it's a not-scary night out for all ages, and there's food and pumpkins for sale on site. Carve for a Cause, a donation-based pumpkin carving display, runs all weekend too.

The Red Barn Farm Sunflower & Fall Festival | 4 PM to dusk | Free fairgrounds | 391 Route 206, Hammonton

A perfect after-work stop. The fairgrounds are free, with farm animals, games and good food off the grill. The hayride, giant corn maze and bounce pillow are ticketed add-ons, and pumpkin picking is in full swing.

Barrington Harvest Festival | 10 AM to 4 PM | Clements Bridge Road, Barrington

Over 100 craft, food and product vendors, live entertainment, a classic car show, a petting zoo, pony rides and bounce houses. This one is a South Jersey favorite for a reason.
