The “spirit” of the season is alive on the south Oregon coast, and Bandon and Coos Bay are about to lay down the party vibes.

A mega-cool (and yet home-spun) south coast tradition returns, as the Mahaffy Ranch Pumpkin Patch is open now through October 31 near Coos Bay. Families can pick pumpkins, walk through the corn maze, ride hay wagons, visit farm animals, and enjoy fresh apple cider. The ranch also features a corn cannon (which could be a riot), live music, a gift shop, and the popular Snack Shack. Hours are Friday - Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Monday - Thursday from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. The Cider Barn is open daily, and the Snack Shack operates Saturdays and Sundays from 11:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.
