40th Annual Half Moon Bay Art and & Pumpkin Festival
The world-famous Half Moon Bay Art & Pumpkin Festival is the season's signature event, drawing hordes of visitors to the "World Pumpkin Capital" for an epic festival on historic Main Street.
Titanic, mind-boggling, Volkswagen-sized weigh-off champion pumpkins on display, the mesmerizing and remarkably talented "Picasso of pumpkin carvers" sculpting and shaping a monster 1,200+ pound pumpkin into the likeness of animated supervillain MEGAMIND, harvest-inspired crafts by America's top artists, the richest/creamiest/tastiest pumpkin pie on the planet.
There will be three stages of blockbuster entertainment, everyone's favorite home-spun parade, enchanting events and contests for the whole family, the never-ending search for the Great Pumpkin, and a bumper crop of 3,000+ tons of the beloved orange orb waiting to be picked from one of the many rustic pumpkin patches around town.
