A pumpkin to put Charlie Brown to shame — and break the world record.
The 50th annual spooky season shindig returns this weekend after a two-year absence. The festival has deep ties to the area, as more than 3,000 tons of pumpkins are grown each year by roughly 15 commercial growers in the Half Moon Bay area.
The slate of this weekend's events include a pie eating contest, where hopefuls will claim their spot at a table and receive a nine-inch pumpkin pie loaded with whipped cream. In a twist, the winners are chosen by audience applause. Musical acts for the festival include SambaDá, a musical group out of Santa Cruz that combines Brazilian samba and funky Latin dance grooves, as well as the Carmen Ratti Band, which serves up blends of blues, funk and R&B music.
Dancepark, a collective of artists, scientists and engineers and disc jockeys, will wheel out their one-of-a-kind Pacific Art Car, designed and themed in the form of Neptune's Chariot. Pumpkin-infused treats, such as pumpkin ravioli, and seasonal craft brews will satiate the appetites of those wandering the festival grounds.
