Start Your Weekend of Fun in Washington County

Early fall is the perfect time to explore Washington County! A great place to start this weekend is Cornucopia Farm, where the 2026 fall season opens September 4 and runs through October 31. Families can enjoy the corn and soybean mazes, wagon rides, a petting farm, giant slides, pumpkin picking, games and plenty of outdoor fun.

Enjoy West Washington Football on the gridiron Friday Night or head to the Salem Square for Food Trucks on the Bricks from 6:00 - 8:00pm. Start off your Saturday morning with yard sales in Campbellsburg or a charity bicycle ride in Livonia to raise money for Riley Hospital.
