The Coastside’s wondrous and highly-anticipated autumn season is coming and the picturesque coast around the World Pumpkin Capital of Half Moon Bay is stunningly spectacular. The dazzling journey is its own reward … the tunnel through Devils Slide is a sight to behold plus the breathtaking 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 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 visitors to the “World Pumpkin Capital” for an epic festival on historic Main Street. The 2025 festival will be held on October 18-19 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.
