Tampa The Heights District's Annual Fall Fest

Browse a fall market stocked with local vendors, order fall cocktails and food from the restaurants inside, and settle in under the string lights for live music. For the kids, there's a petting zoo, pony and camel rides, face painting and a bounce zone. A $20 all-day activity pass covers bounce zone access. Face painting and animal rides are available separately.
Fall Fest weekend is the kickoff, not the whole season. A free pumpkin patch opens every Thursday through Sunday for the rest of October, and Show + Tell runs fall classes all month. One weekend or all four, there's a reason to come back.
The fall market runs both days along Market Street and the West Lawn, stocked with local vendors selling seasonal goods, gifts and handmade finds
