Fertile fields burst into brilliant orange as millions of pumpkins ripen in the warm sun.
Children scamper across pick-your-own pumpkin patches while dodging scarecrows.
It's the perfect time of year to celebrate the bountiful fall harvest and Half Moon Bay does it in a spectacular way.
An autumn outing to the pumpkin fields around Half Moon Bay and the charming seaside town’s world-famous Art & Pumpkin Festival is a popular annual tradition for Bay Area families.
Spread out along State Highways 92 and 1, the patches offer pumpkins in a wide variety of colors, shapes, and sizes, and in a variety of beautiful rural settings.

This year, the Half Moon Bay Art & Pumpkin Festival runs October 19-20, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., along Main Street.
