The 2024 Pumpkin Patch at St. James Opens on October 5th.
Explore one of Lake Highlands’s cherished traditions at the St. James Episcopal Church Pumpkin Patch in Dallas, available until October 31st. Discover a wide array of pumpkins in various shapes and sizes, nestled at the crossroads of Audelia and McCree, just north of Northwest Highway.
In partnership with local Southwest-based farmers, St. James Episcopal Church nurtures a bountiful pumpkin crop for this beloved event. Proceeds from pumpkin sales directly support the Saint James Student Ministries, fostering youth development through local outreach and impactful national and international mission trips.
Our first pumpkin patch sprouted to life back in 1997, all in the name of providing funding to our parish’s youth programs. Fast forward to today, and it’s grown into a powerhouse of support, supporting our student ministries and propelling our missions and outreach initiatives to new heights.
But here’s the real magic: it’s not just a patch; it’s a place where memories are made. Year after year, families from near and far make it a tradition to swing by, pick out the perfect pumpkin, and snap some precious photos. Can you imagine the joy of watching your little ones, or even your fur babies, frolic amidst the pumpkins?
Whether you’re after a petite pumpkin for a cozy apartment or a grand, show-stopping gourd, we’ve got it all! You’ll find us nestled at the intersection of Audelia and McCree, just north of Northwest Highway.
