Burlington County is set to host the Autumn Lands festival at Historic Smithville Park in Eastampton on Saturday, November 2. The event will feature a variety of seasonal foods, music, entertainment, and activities for all ages from 1 PM to 7 PM. Admission is free.

“Fall is a fantastic season in Burlington County and the Autumn Lands festival is a great way to experience all the natural beauty, art and history in Smithville, our County’s first park and the crown jewel of our outstanding parks system,” stated Burlington County Commissioner Director Felicia Hopson. “Newcomers to the park will be amazed by this festival, which is an example of the outstanding entertainment and programming the Burlington County Parks System creates all year round.”

The festival's main attraction will be performances by the Axe Women Loggers of Maine, showcasing skills such as log chopping, sawing, axe throwing, and log rolling. Attendees can also explore a Viking encampment, watch performances by the Autumn Winds Circus, and participate in a classic movie monster hunt. Additionally, visitors can enjoy encounters with Beetlejuice and other ghostly characters on site.

Other activities include voting for scarecrows displayed along Park Avenue in Smithville, pumpkin painting, leaf pressing, bonfire s’mores sessions, a magic lantern show, live music performances, and access to a beer garden with food trucks.

The event also includes two notable Smithville trolls from the Burlington County Troll Trek public art exhibition. Commissioner Allison Eckel highlighted that "Autumn Lands is the ultimate fall festival that spotlights the creativity and talents of artists and entertainers from across the region."
