Historic Rural Hill will bring back its annual corn maze and autumn festival Sept. 5 through Oct. 31 at the 265-acre historic farm in Huntersville.

The fall season will include tractor-pulled hayrides, Highland cow photo opportunities, a pumpkin patch, food trucks, bounce houses and live music on Saturdays.

The daytime corn maze will be open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., with last entry at 3:30 p.m.

A night maze will be offered Fridays and Saturdays in October from 5 to 9 p.m., with last entry at 8 p.m. Visitors are encouraged to bring flashlights for the nighttime maze.

Tickets are valid on any public operating day during the 2026 season and are not tied to a specific date.

Private group bookings for groups of 10 or more, including schools, churches and corporate outings, are available on days when the maze is closed to the public.

Pets and other animals are not permitted inside the maze. Visitors are encouraged to bring water, although food and drinks will be available from on-site food trucks.

Live music performances will be held on Saturdays, with the schedule to be announced.

Weather-related cancellations will be announced on Rural Hill’s social media channels.
