Tickets are now on sale for the
24th Annual Pumpkin Festival at Cal Poly Pomona.
24th Annual Pumpkin Festival at Cal Poly Pomona.
The festival, which celebrates California agriculture, will be held on the weekend of Oct. 8 and 9 at the university’s AGRIscapes Center. Festival-goers can pick a pumpkin right out of the patch, try and solve the corn maze, or compete in pumpkin-pie-eating and seed-spitting contests. Children can pet farm animals, ride horses, crawl through squash tunnels, get their faces painted, or compete in a costume contest. Ag Discovery Lane also will have many free and fun activities.
This year, the festival is expanding to include the annual Cal Poly Pomona Insect Fair. The fair will feature thousands of live and preserved arthropods from all corners of the world. Vendors will sell live insects to take home, and insect-related wares, ranging from jewelry that looks like insects to display cases and frame boxes.
Festival tickets are for sale at http://pumpkinfestival.cpp.edu, or the AGRIscapes office. Tickets are only $4 for adults and $3 children 2 to 12, with parking included. All pumpkins in our huge patch are $5 for any size. All proceeds will help support the Cal Poly Pomona College of Agriculture’s farm operations, student clubs, and activities.
The festival kicks off Cal Poly Pomona’s Month of Pumpkins. After the festival ends, the Pumpkin Patch and corn maze will be open every day from Oct. 11 until Oct. 30. Admission to the patch is free for visitors, but free parking is limited. Pumpkins from the patch will still be $5. Field trip packages are available for groups that can visit a petting farm and get discounted access to the corn maze.
