Harvest Festival Attractions

Hayride

Nothing says fall like a good ol’ fashioned hayride! Line up at the National Bank of Malvern to take a free hayride through the back roads of Malvern. Hayrides will run on about a 15 minute loop. Hayride sponsored by Renehan Building Group, Inc.

Food Court

Hungry? Head over to the parking lot of Gallagher's Auto Service to pick from some delicious food vendors. If you’re looking for something to satisfy that sweet tooth, they’ll be treats all along King Street. Our Food Court is sponsored by Firehouse Subs.

Kids Carnival

Have little ones? Or perhaps you are a kid at heart yourself. In any case, be sure to wander the Kid’s Carnival at Burke Park across from the Paws festivities. Kids can enjoy free games, moon bounce, face painting, pumpkin painting and more! Kid’s Carnival is sponsored by the Chester County Council – Boy Scouts of America.

Chainsaw Carving

If you came out to the Malvern Blooms Family Festival, you got to witness Anvil Art and his masterful wood carving – with a chainsaw! He’s back and will be carving all throughout the festival. But in the spirit of the season, he’s not limited to just wood. He’ll be using his chainsaw to carve pumpkins too! Anvil Art is located in the municipal lot next to Posh Collections.

Haunted House

The Little Publisher is putting on a haunted house. When you get to the end of our festival at Bridge Street, walk about two blocks and enter ... at your own risk! All it costs to enter is a donation to the Chester County SPCA. So get spooked and help those paws in need at the same time!
