Intermittent rain and cooler weather didnB次元官网网址檛 deter hundreds of attendees from flocking to Galey Farms for the final days of this yearB次元官网网址檚 Pumpkin Fest.
The farm still has spookier thrills lined up for older crowds as night falls. Available every day until Halloween, the Festival of Fear invites visitors to explore the site after dark, including access to Carnevil B次元官网网址� a 6,000-square-foot haunted house.
Farm owner Rob Galey was proud to welcome people from all walks of life to this 25-year-old tradition, held throughout October.
B次元官网网址淧umpkin Fest is a family event,B次元官网网址� said Galey. B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 a great time of the year, and for us, itB次元官网网址檚 a celebration of our harvest. ItB次元官网网址檚 all about making memories."
With attractions including a mile-long train ride through animated displays like Dino Land and spooky graveyards, a large pumpkin patch, a six-acre corn maze, and many other meticulously hand-crafted themed exhibits, Galey said thereB次元官网网址檚 nothing quite like this experience anywhere else on the Island.
Having evolved into a seasonal go-to destination for Greater Victoria residents and beyond, the Saanich farmer expressed deep gratitude to the community that helped bring his vision to life. He now reaps the rewards of his hard work.
B次元官网网址淥ne of the coolest things is hearing people say, B次元官网网址楻ob, thank you so much for doing this. I used to come when I was a kid, and now IB次元官网网址檓 here with my children,B次元官网网址橞次元官网网址� he said. B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 become a generational tradition (and) itB次元官网网址檚 a pleasure to serve everyone.B次元官网网址�
Concluding another successful year, Galey noted tickets for the event sold out completely over the past three weeks.
Since its start in 1999, the event has grown steadily each year, with Galey and his family continually working to make it even bigger and spookier than before.
