Who should skip it
You're after a big production — this is a grove market with a festival bolted on, and small is the charm.
The move
Morning light beats afternoon heat for the patch photos — and the good pumpkins go early each weekend.
Getting there
Parking is $5; festival entry is free.
One thing worth knowing
The grove market runs year-round; the pumpkin weekends are its once-a-year star turn.
Make it an outing
Pair with a Myakka park afternoon — the entrance is fifteen minutes east.
