Pumpkin Lane at Pomeroy Farm
Nestled amid the forests of Yacolt, a visit to Pomeroy Farm is always a good time, but fall brings out something special. Take a hayride among “pumpkin people” and choose both your favorite pumpkin and favorite photo opp.

Admission is $8 for adults, $6 for kids ages 3-11 (ages 2 and under are free). Pro tip: Some vendors may only accept cash and there is no ATM onsite, so come prepared.
The Gothic Market
Your holiday marketplace for all things spooky, the Grimoire Exhibition is held at the Clark County Fairgrounds. Inspired by spooky classics like Sabrina the Teenage Witch and American Horror Story, last year, this marketplace featured over 120 vendors of all things witchy pop culture and handmade hocus pocus.
If you go: Marketplace runs from October 18-19, from 10 am to 4 pm. Early admission tickets are $5 each plus fees, however ticket prices are expected to increase closer to the event and there will be no sales at the door.

Cinema of Horrors
Bring your favorite scary movie to life with interactive drive-in theater all month long at the Cinema of Horrors at the Clark County Event Center Fairgrounds in Ridgefield. Real actors, with props, lights and more lurk nearby as horror flicks like The Blair Witch Project, It, Scream, and The Purge play on the big screen. This one’s on the spookier side, recommended for older kids, teens and adults.

Trunk or Treats
Halloween might officially just be on October 31, but there are many area “Trunk or Treats” to experience leading into the season. (For those new to the concept, children go car to car “trunk” vs. door to door. A fantastic option for those with limited time or mobility. Here are our favorites:
- Clark County Trunk or Treat
- Orchards Cars and Coffee Trunk or Treat
- River City Church Fall Festival & Trunk or Treat
- Bonus trick-or-treat event: Boo Bash 2025 – Downtown Camas (Rather than cars, this is a store front candy experience.)
Pumpkin Patches
Halloween isn’t complete without the obligatory pumpkin patch picture. Grab your walking shoes, a cart or wagon and prepare for the traditional farm walk and apple cider donuts. Pro tip: Find even more pumpkin patch options here.
