Fall in Love with Parkland! 🍂🎃🏈
I absolutely love this time of year in Parkland! School is back in session, and our beautiful city is alive with activity!
One of my favorite things as a Parkland Realtor is driving down Holmberg Road and seeing and hearing the award-winning Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School band practicing. I love spotting the cross-country team running through our neighborhoods and, of course, the excitement of Friday night football games!
Fall also brings so many wonderful community events, traditions, and celebrations as we look forward to the holiday season. Here are a few of my favorite things about Parkland this time of year!
🎃 Parkland Pumpkin Patch – Through October 22
The City of Parkland's Pumpkin Patch is a wonderful place to enjoy the season! Stop by for festive photos, pick out the perfect pumpkin, or simply stroll through the patch and soak up the fall atmosphere.
Enjoy the petting zoo and Kona Ice from 5:00–7:00 PM. Best of all, every pumpkin purchased helps support Food for the Poor!
🍝 Coral Springs-Parkland Fire Department's Breast Cancer Awareness Pasta Dinner – Saturday, October 24, 5:00–9:00 PM
Fire Station 80 | 2825 Coral Springs Drive, Coral Springs
Enjoy a delicious dinner for a wonderful cause! Our local firefighters are serving up homemade firehouse sauces at their Breast Cancer Awareness Pasta Dinner. For just $8, you can enjoy a great meal while supporting the UM Sylvester Firefighters Cancer Initiative and its important cancer research efforts.
It's a wonderful opportunity to support our firefighters, come together as a community, and make a difference during Breast Cancer Awareness Month! 💗
👻 Parkland Halloween Festival
Put on your favorite costume and head over to the Parkland Equestrian Center for an evening of spooky fun! Enjoy trunk-or-treat festivities, costumed characters, stilt walkers, and a special Halloween performance on the main stage. It's a fun-filled evening for the entire family!
🥬 Parkland Farmers' Market – Returns November 1
One of Parkland's most popular traditions returns to the Equestrian Center on November 1, 2026! Held on the first and third Sundays of the month, the Farmers' Market is a wonderful way to spend a Sunday morning.
Stroll among the vendors offering fresh fruits and vegetables, beautiful flowers, homemade breads, pastries, honey, jams, cheeses, fresh pasta, and so many other delicious treats. It's also a great place to run into friends and neighbors!
🇺🇸 Veterans Day Ceremony – Wednesday, November 11, at 11:00 AM
Veterans Park | 6620 North University Drive
Join the City of Parkland as we come together to honor the brave men and women who have served our country. This special ceremony is a meaningful opportunity for our community to express its gratitude, recognize their sacrifices, and pay tribute to those who have dedicated themselves to protecting our freedoms.
🔥 Hayride & Bonfire – Friday, November 13
This is an all-time Parkland favorite! There's something special about gathering under the stars at the Parkland Equestrian Center for an evening of hayrides, a crackling bonfire, s'mores, music, and good company. It's one of those wonderful traditions that makes Parkland feel like a small town.
✨ And Then Comes the Holiday Magic!
Another thing I love is seeing Rizzo Holiday Lighting begin installing those beautiful, twinkling lights throughout Parkland. Before long, the entrances to our neighborhoods will be glowing with festive decorations, and our entire city will take on that magical holiday feeling.
These are just a few of the reasons I love living and working in Parkland. It's not just the beautiful homes, parks, and neighborhoods. It's the traditions, the community spirit, the familiar faces, and those little moments that make this city such a special place to call home.
There's truly something magical about Parkland this time of year! 🍁❤️
