SUMMARY:Clark Farms Fall Festival Adds a Flashlight Corn Maze for Columbus Day Weekend
DESCRIPTION:Clark Farms Fall Festival Adds a Flashlight Corn Maze for Columbus Day Weekend as the Matunuck farm heads into a three-day holiday weekend Oct. 10–12 with live music\, food\, face painting\, magic and a Saturday night trip through the corn maze after dark. \nThe weekend is part of Clark Farms’ larger Fall Festival season\, which turns the farm into an autumn playground with a corn maze\, hayrides\, farm animals and a collection of outdoor activities. \nThis year’s theme\, “250 Years of Farming\,” gives the season a nod toward Rhode Island’s agricultural history while Columbus Day weekend brings one of the festival’s more unusual experiences: Flashlight Night on Saturday\, Oct. 10. \nSaturday Ends in the Corn Maze After Dark\nSaturday begins as a full Fall Festival day before things get more interesting after sunset. \nJava Jai Coffee will be at the farm from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.\, followed by ice cream from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and live music from noon to 3 p.m. \nFace painting runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.\, while a magician performs two shows\, at noon and 2:30 p.m. \nThen daylight disappears. \nClark Farms will remain open until 9 p.m. for Flashlight Night\, giving visitors the chance to head into the corn maze after dark. \nA corn maze is built around limited visibility even in the middle of the afternoon. Take away the sunlight\, add a flashlight and suddenly every turn through the stalks becomes a little more uncertain. \nIt’s an easy way to give a familiar fall attraction an entirely different personality without turning it into a full-scale haunted attraction. \nSunday Brings Barbecue\, Music and Butterflies\nThe festival returns to daylight Sunday\, Oct. 11\, with another full schedule. \nJava Jai Coffee returns from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.\, live music runs from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and face painting is scheduled from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. \nFood comes from SoCo BBQ from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. \nThe farm’s Butterfly House will also be open\, adding something considerably quieter to a day otherwise built around the activity of the Fall Festival. \nThat’s all on top of the farm’s regular seasonal attractions. \nThe corn maze may be the centerpiece\, but Clark Farms has developed the property into considerably more than a field of corn with paths cut through it. \nDepending on the attraction schedule\, a visit can include the farm’s hayride\, animals and outdoor play areas\, giving families enough to make the trip a substantial part of the day rather than a quick run through the maze. \nMonday Extends the Festival Through the Holiday\nClark Farms isn’t packing everything away Sunday night. \nThe special Fall Festival schedule continues on Monday\, Oct. 12\, giving families another option for the holiday. \nJava Jai Coffee will be there from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.\, with face painting from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and live music from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. \nThe Sunset Farms food truck is scheduled from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. \nThat creates three slightly different versions of the festival across the long weekend. \nSaturday is the big choice for anyone who wants magic shows and the experience of tackling the corn maze after dark. Sunday combines live music\, barbecue and the Butterfly House. Monday offers a somewhat more relaxed final day with music\, food and the regular farm attractions. \n250 Years of Farming\nThere’s a fitting bit of history behind this year’s festival theme. \nAgriculture has shaped Rhode Island since long before the American Revolution. Farms provided food for local communities\, supported trade and helped define the landscape of rural areas that today are increasingly surrounded by suburban and coastal development. \nSouth County remains one of the places where that agricultural landscape is still readily visible. \nClark Farms continues that connection while showing how dramatically the idea of visiting a farm has changed. \nWhat began as an agricultural business has expanded into a destination where growing plants and crops exists alongside seasonal entertainment. During fall\, the farm becomes a place where children can encounter farm animals\, families can disappear into a corn maze and visitors can spend an afternoon outdoors surrounded by the sights of the harvest season. \nThe 250 Years of Farming theme gives this year’s celebration a chance to connect those modern attractions with the much longer agricultural story behind them. \nOne Weekend\, Three Ways to Do Fall\nFor families trying to decide which day to visit\, the schedule makes the choice relatively straightforward. \nSaturday has the most distinctive experience. \nArrive during the afternoon for the magician\, music and regular attractions\, then stick around until darkness changes the character of the farm. Walking into rows of towering corn with little more than a flashlight is a very different proposition from doing it under an October sun. \nSunday is built for a traditional fall afternoon\, with barbecue\, music\, face painting and the Butterfly House. \nMonday provides a bonus day for anyone with the holiday off\, complete with another round of live music and a food truck. \nOr there’s another option. \nMake Saturday’s corn maze difficult on purpose. \nWait until dark. \nMore information is available at the Event Website link below. To purchase tickets\, click the Event Ticketing link below. \nDetails\nEvent: Clark Farms Fall Festival – Columbus Day Weekend\nDates: Saturday–Monday\, Oct. 10–12\, 2026\nLocation: Clark Farms\nAddress: 2984 Commodore Perry Highway\, Matunuck\, RI 02879\n2026 Theme: 250 Years of Farming\nSaturday\, Oct. 10: Java Jai Coffee 9 a.m.–2 p.m.; face painting 10 a.m.–3 p.m.; ice cream 11 a.m.–3 p.m.; live music noon–3 p.m.; magician shows noon and 2:30 p.m.; Flashlight Night\, with the farm open until 9 p.m.\nSunday\, Oct. 11: Java Jai Coffee 9 a.m.–2 p.m.; face painting 10 a.m.–3 p.m.; live music 11 a.m.–2 p.m.; SoCo BBQ 11 a.m.–3 p.m.; Butterfly House open\nMonday\, Oct. 12: Java Jai Coffee 9 a.m.–2 p.m.; face painting 10 a.m.–3 p.m.; live music 11 a.m.–2 p.m.; Sunset Farms food truck 11 a.m.–3 p.m.\nSpecial Attraction: Flashlight Night on Saturday\nSeasonal Attractions: Corn maze and other Clark Farms Fall Festival activities\nPlanning: Individual attractions and activities may operate on different schedules; check the farm’s current information before visiting. \n\n  \nFeatured image is an artistic representation inspired by the event and may not depict the actual people\, location\, or activities shown.
