Pumpkins Galore at the Half Moon Bay Art & Pumpkin Festival
Half Moon Bay California, located just 30 miles south of San Francisco, is celebrating their 39th annual Art & Pumpkin Festival from October 17th through October 18th. This festival began in 1971 when a newly formed civic organization, The Main Street Beautification Committee, was founded to raise funds to revitalize Main Street in the charming Half Moon Bay downtown shopping district. The committee, realizing that pumpkin patches surrounded the area, decided to incorporate an old-fashioned downtown festival into many visitor’s annual trek to pick out their Halloween pumpkins from this well known home of superior pumpkin growers. 38 years later the Half Moon Bay Art & Pumpkin Festival attracts thousands of people from all over the Bay Area and beyond, and is still committing the proceeds to revitalizing the downtown area and contributing to the town’s civic causes.
The kickoff for the festival is HUGE – literally! Today, Columbus Day, Monday October 12th it begins with the Safeway World Championship Pumpkin Weigh-Off with a $20,000 prize at stake! Pumpkins weighing in at more than 1,000 pounds are brought in every year by proud growers and their families. The following weekend of October 17th through October 18th pumpkin lovers flock to this charming ocean front town to celebrate the season of ‘orange!’
Otto and this Halloween's Great Pumpkin
The Half Moon Bay Art & Pumpkin Festival is not limited to big orange vegetables! It features live music and entertainment on three stages – ranging from pop reggae to classic and Celtic rock. Of course what would a festival be without food? You will find every tempting pumpkin-infused treat imaginable – and then some! Halloween is just around the corner, as is a very scary Haunted House! Not into scary things? There are other activities for the little ones, including amusement rides, a 24-foot climbing wall, pumpkin carving, pie eating contests, face painting and so much more!
The Half Moon Bay Art & Pumpkin Festival has become a tradition for many families and friends. It is a great place to come together and enjoy one of California’s oldest, biggest and most popular festivals. Good Grief! Don’t miss out!

Last Sunday my daughter Lilah and I abandoned our football-watching dad/husband and met up with friends to do the ‘Solano Stroll’ in Berkeley. It’s a big deal around here as people young and old flock to this huge street festival filled with folk dancers and performers, a petting zoo, local bands, art cars, a giant slide, food booths, magicians, face painters, carnival games, arts and crafters, and every T-shirt booth you could imagine. Really fun!
Lilah and I wandered into a booth selling black, screen-printed T-shirts. I decided to let Lilah choose whichever shirt she wanted as a gift. She walked directly over to a tee with a purple screen of John Lennon. I was pleased with her choice and mentioned that fact to the vendor. He said “To you and me that is John Lennon, but to the kids it’s Harry Potter!” It took me a moment to realize that it did look like Harry Potter! I don’t think that Lilah even knows who Harry Potter is, but I will never again be able to see John Lennon’s image the same way! Oh the ‘magic’ of growing older!
