TAMPA, FL – Fall is finally here and we are ready to celebrate. Hyde Park Village’s Pumpkin Patch has returned to Village Circle, supporting The Humane Society of Tampa Bay and Feeding Tampa Bay’s disaster relief efforts at 744 South Village Circle in Tampa. With a suggested donation of $20 benefitting both organizations, guests can select two complimentary pumpkins. Donations may also be made via on-site QR code, and canned goods or supplies can be contributed to the Feeding Tampa Bay collection box.

Hyde Park Village will match donations up to $10,000, doubling the impact of each contribution. The Pumpkin Patch is open now though Oct. 28, 2024, while supplies last. Hours are Friday-Sunday: 10 a.m. – 6 p.m and Monday-Thursday: 3 p.m. – 6 p.m.

Family-friendly activities include ‘Storytime in the Patch with Mother Boo’ on Oct. 20, 24, and 26 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., with a Feeding Tampa Bay collection box available at each session. The patch will also feature two enchanted painted pumpkin carriages of different sizes, catering to both adults and children, and providing photo opportunities. This year’s pumpkin selection will be beyond the classic orange, featuring pink, white and green varieties as well.

The “Adoptable Puppies from The Humane Society of Tampa Bay” event returns on Saturday, Oct. 19, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. This popular feature of the Pumpkin Patch offers attendees the opportunity to meet and adopt puppies, while also raising awareness of The Humane Society’s mission and initiatives.
