Half Moon Bay Pumpkin Festival Costume Contest Results

There were 193 creative costumes to judge this year but only a handful of happy winners!

Just two blocks from Main Street at the Half Moon Bay Library, the annual Pumpkin Festival Costume Contest is an amazing site to behold. On Saturday at 10 a.m., 193 contestants ages 0 and up gathered in front of the judges dressed in costumes ready for the contest. Some came as far as Austin, Denver, New Orleans, Seattle, Omaha to participate. Awards were given by age and for individual and group efforts. Afterward, they marched in the parade at noon.
