Fall in the San Rafael area is often filled with fun family traditions: that first sip of hot apple cider, cool nights around a bonfire and the yearly excursion to a nearby pumpkin patch or field to find the best pumpkin.

The perfect Halloween pumpkin is waiting. Plus, many pumpkin patches offer hayrides, corn mazes and games for kids.

Peruse our annual guide, and find the fun going on near you in San Rafael.
