World Pumpkin Capital Hosts Epic Festival, October 13-14, 2012
It's The Royal Granddaddy of Festivals
Autumn is a spectacularly special season on the fertile, scenic coast around Half Moon Bay. Magnificent
vistas of seaside farm country dotted with vast, rolling fields of
orange, scarecrows, barns, and pick-your-own pumpkin patches. It's the
perfect time of year and the perfect place to celebrate the beauty and
bounty of the fall season and Half Moon Bay does it like nobody else.
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.
This year’s special 42nd Annual festival will be held on October 13-14 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.
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 a one-of-a-kind masterpiece, harvest-inspired crafts
by America’s top artists, the richest/creamiest/tastiest pumpkin pie on
the planet, 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 are among the featured,
not-to-be forgotten attractions. It’s the real thing … the authentic
“autumn classic”.
