Calabasas Pumpkin Festival - Los Angeles Hotels .com

What better way to celebrate fall than with the season's most popular vegetable? Head over to the Calabasas Pumpkin Festival and make some new friends of the orange, vine-grown variety. This popular two-day family festival is jam-pumpkin-packed with entertainment, including pumpkin pie eating contests (no hands, ma!), seed-spitting contests, pumpkin picking and carving, face painting, and a delicious pumpkin baked goods tasting area (where you can sample the best pumpkin cookies, breads, soups, and much more).

Once you've grown pooped of pumpkins, grab the family and head on over to the arts and crafts marketplace, try your hand at a few carnival games, catch a car show, get your groove on with some live entertainment at the festival stage, or take a relaxing time-out in the nearby beer garden.

Whatever your pleasure, the Calabasas Pumpkin Festival, held at Juan Bautista De Anza Park and open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, is sure to meet your needs. The best part? Pumpkin is a great source of Vitamin A and magnesium, and this pumpkin-centric event is free!
