October 19 - October 20
About 25 miles south of San Francisco, Half Moon Bay, a small oceanside town considers itself pumpkin patch to the world. With all those pumpkins lying around, pumpkin carvers have their work cut out for them. Watch as they create incredible one-of-a-kind works of art that, come nighttime, are lit brilliantly. Four comedy and live music stages, featuring bluegrass, singer-songwriters, and the local School of Rock band, keep the party alive. Get ready for intense performances at the “Smashing Pumpkins: Battle of the Bands” competition.
