Half Moon Bay’s Beloved and World-famous Autumn Classic Celebrates 52 Years!
No matter what’s happening around us, one lovely constant endures at this time of year – the Coastside’s wondrous and highly-anticipated autumn season is upon us and on the picturesque coast around the World Pumpkin Capital of Half Moon Bay, it’s always stunningly spectacular. The dazzling journey is its own reward … the breath-taking views 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 simple beauty and bounty of the fall season and Half Moon Bay does it like nobody else.

This year’s highly-anticipated 52nd annual festival will be held on October 19-20 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.
