This is THE place to go for all things fall in Miami-Dade county!  Come see why this pumpkin patch has been voted as one of the top ones in Miami and all of South Florida (by New Times & CBS).  The Miami Lakes United Methodist Church receives three full truckloads of pumpkins on October 10th, October 24th,  and October 28th. A truckload contains over 2000 pumpkins and weighs over 43,000 pounds! You must come, bring your children and check out all that is planned. The Patch is open daily from 10:00am – 9:00pm so come by and say “hi”.

The Pumpkin Patch has grown so popular that we have extended it by a whole week. This year we open Saturday, September 29th and run straight through to Halloween on Wednesday, October 31.

The pumpkins arrive around 4:00pm on the following dates:
• Friday, October 28
• Wednesday, October 10
• Wednesday, October 24

Students needing volunteer hours are welcome to help unload. Please call and let us know you are coming 305-821-7274 or email office@miamilakesumc.net.
