Fall Fun Returns to St. Pete Pier: Piertoberfest, Pumpkin Patch, and More

Fall is officially here, and with it, the St. Pete Pier is getting its colorful makeover. From October 3 to 25, several beloved fall events are returning to the pier, making it the perfect spot for a relaxing day out. This month, Piertoberfest, the St. Pete Pier Pumpkin Patch, and Putt the Pier are all back, along with the Costumed Dog Parade. Whether you're in town for work or just passing through, there's something for everyone to enjoy.

Piertoberfest kicks things off on Saturday, October 3, with a full day of Bavarian fun. You can enjoy live music, traditional German food and drinks, and even participate in Stein-hoisting competitions. It's a great way to celebrate the fall season, complete with the sounds and tastes of Oktoberfest. And don't forget to check out the Costumed Dog Parade, which is free to attend.

St. Pete Pier Pumpkin Patch runs from October 8 to 25, offering a festive atmosphere with a sprawling field of pumpkins to pick from. It's a wonderful spot for families to spend time together, and the new Fall Pumpkin Edition of Putt the Pier is an added bonus. You can play mini-golf surrounded by fall decorations and enjoy the beautiful waterfront views. Reservations are recommended, but walk-up times are available if open.

St. Pete Fall Festival is a weekend event on October 10 and 11, with activities from 11 am to 7 pm. It's a great opportunity to explore the pier and enjoy a variety of experiences, from food vendors to live performances. The pumpkin patch and Putt the Pier are also open during these days, so you can enjoy a full day of fall fun.
