This Weekend in South Jersey: Street Fairs, Harvest Festivals and Farmers Markets (September 11-13, 2026)
The post-Labor Day rhythm is here: apple season, corn mazes, a 55-year-old street fair, a bacon-and-bourbon party at a Medford airfield, and Burlington County's farmers markets in full swing. Here is your family-friendly plan for Friday through Sunday.
This weekend, Friday September 11 through Sunday September 13, 2026, is when South Jersey officially leans into fall. The standouts are concentrated on Saturday: the 55th annual Wood Street Fair in historic Burlington City, a bacon-and-bourbon festival at the Medford airfield, an apple and food truck festival in Sewell, and the weekly Burlington County Farmers Market in Moorestown. Sunday settles into a slower farmers market pace in Bordentown, and Johnson's Corner Farm in Medford kicks off its fall harvest season all weekend long.
Every event below was checked against official listings, farm websites, and event calendars before publishing, so you can plan with confidence. Weather-dependent details like hayrides and outdoor stages can shift, so it is worth confirming anything you plan around with the organizer before you head out.
All Weekend: Harvest Season Begins
Hayrides and harvest activities daily, with the corn maze open Fridays through Sundays
Johnson's Farm Fall Harvest Festival (Opens This Weekend)
Johnson's Corner Farm, 133 Church Road, Medford, NJ 08015 (Burlington County)
Johnson's Corner Farm opens its fall harvest season this weekend, running daily from Saturday, September 12 through November 1. The signature Fall Harvest Hayride and Pick Your Own takes you to the fields for apples, pumpkins, gourds, sweet potatoes, and popcorn, with the Discovery Barnyard, gem mining, duck races, a festival food tent, and live music on weekends. The roughly 5.5-acre corn maze opens Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and Columbus Day, and it is only reachable by hayride (add about $10 per person on top of the hayride ticket).
Reserved hayride and pick-your-own tickets are about $10 per person on weekends, less on weekdays, with an extra charge for the Discovery Barnyard and free entry for babies under 12 months. This is one of the busiest farm destinations in the region once the leaves turn, so the opening weekend is the calmest you will catch it all season.
Friday, September 11: A Day to Remember
A solemn anniversary, and the quiet side of the weekend
September 11 Remembrance Ceremonies Across South Jersey
Friday, September 11 marks the 25th anniversary of the 2001 attacks, and communities across South Jersey are holding remembrance ceremonies through the day and evening. Ocean City's "A Day to Remember" observance is scheduled for Friday evening at 6:00 PM on Asbury Avenue, and countless towns are holding smaller honors at firehouses, veterans memorials, and municipal buildings. Check your town's community calendar or police and fire page for the time and place closest to you.
These observances are free and open to all. If you cannot make a ceremony, a quiet moment at your local memorial honors the date just the same.
Saturday, September 12: The Big Day
A street fair, a pork-and-pour festival, apple picking, and the county market
55th Annual Wood Street Fair, Burlington City
230 Wood Street and the riverfront, Burlington City, NJ 08016
The Colonial Burlington Foundation hosts the 55th Annual Wood Street Fair on Saturday, September 12, from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM through the historic district of Burlington City. Around 175 vendors line Wood Street and the riverfront with antiques, collectibles, handcrafted goods, and art, alongside three food courts, live entertainment, and free tours of historic sites such as the Revell House. It draws well over 25,000 visitors each year, so it is one of the biggest single-day street fairs in the region.
Admission is free and parking is free in the lots near the fair. Sunday, September 13 is set as the official rain date.
Bacon, Bourbon and Brews Festival
Flying W Airport & Resort, 60 Fostertown Road, Medford, NJ 08055
The Bacon, Bourbon and Brews Festival takes over the airfield at the Flying W Airport and Resort on Saturday, September 12, from 11:00 AM into the evening. Expect live music, bourbon, beer, and wine tastings, craft cocktails, and a lineup of food trucks serving the namesake bacon-heavy fare, with plenty of family-friendly activities on the lawn. Attendees are encouraged to bring a lounge chair and stay through the afternoon.
Tickets are sold in advance through the festival's Eventbrite page, with general admission listed around $23 and kids 12 and under free in past years. Because this one pours alcohol, the tasting areas are 21-plus and service runs until the event ends, so plan rides ahead.
Burlington County Farmers Market
Burlington County Agricultural Center, 500 Centerton Road, Moorestown, NJ 08057
The Burlington County Agricultural Center's Saturday farmers market is open 8:30 AM to 1:00 PM on September 12, with Jersey produce at the season's sweet spot: late tomatoes, sweet corn, squash, and the first fall wreaths, mums, and decorative gourds. It is a beloved county tradition in its 20th season, with dozens of New Jersey farms and food vendors under the pavilions, and it runs weekly through November.
Free to browse, and the market's deli and bakery counters open at lunchtime. If you are curious about the community this market anchors, our Moorestown guide covers the town's neighborhoods and schools.

Apple and Food Truck Festival at Duffield's Farm
Duffield's Farm Market, 280 Chapel Heights Road, Sewell, NJ 08080 (Gloucester County)
About half an hour from Mount Laurel, Duffield's Farm holds its Apple and Food Truck Festival on Saturday, September 12, from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Expect a rotating lineup of food trucks, apple picking in the orchard, hayrides, pony rides, a corn maze, all-day live music on the lawn, and plenty of room to spread out. There is no entry fee to the festival grounds, and the truck meals and farm treats are pay-as-you-go.
The apple varieties at Duffield's shift through the season, and mid-September typically brings the crisp early picks; call ahead or check the market's page for the day's varieties before you go.
Sunday, September 13: A Slower Pace
A riverside farmers market, a rain-date street fair, and an open airfield
Bordentown City Farmers Market
Carslake Community Center, 207 Crosswicks Street, Bordentown City, NJ 08505
The Bordentown City Farmers Market runs Sundays from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM through the early fall, so September 13 is another full market day. Look for New Jersey produce, baked goods, local honey, and handcrafted goods on the grounds of the Carslake Community Center in charming historic Bordentown, easy to combine with a walk down Farnsworth Avenue for brunch afterward.
The market stays open into October, so this is not the last chance of the season, just the best weather. Entry is free.
Also on Sunday
If your Saturday street fair or apple outing gets rained out, the Wood Street Fair's official rain date is Sunday, September 13, and Johnson's Farm is open again for hayrides through the fields. Most South Jersey communities keep Sunday light, so plan a late brunch and a market stroll, then let the kids burn off energy at a local park from our best parks guide.
