Residents looking for a taste of autumn have a new destination to visit this October. A pumpkin patch has officially opened in the area between Laveau, Columtreal, and Hathian, bringing seasonal activities, local vendors, and Halloween attractions to this side of Louisiana.

Visitors can take photos among the pumpkins and purchase their own for cooking, carving, or decorating their homes for Halloween. A market area offers locally crafted goods, handmade items, and other seasonal products, while a refreshment zone serves hot drinks and snacks.

The patch is intended as a place for residents to spend some time outdoors, whether on a date, meeting friends, or simply enjoying a quieter autumn afternoon away from the usual bustle of the surrounding towns.

However, the pumpkin patch may not be the only attraction worth investigating. Rumors have begun circulating about a haunted house located somewhere in the vicinity. Details remain scarce, but those interested in visiting are advised to set aside enough time for the experience and approach it with an open mind. Local whispers suggest it may prove more frightening than some visitors are prepared to handle.

The pumpkin patch is scheduled to remain open through October 31, 2026, giving residents until the end of the month to enjoy the seasonal offerings and perhaps investigate the rumors about the haunted house for themselves.
