Annual Half Moon Bay Art & Pumpkin Festival and 4th of July Parade Canceled

The 2020 Half Moon Bay Art & Pumpkin Festival and 4th of July Parade have been canceled, officials announced on Thursday.

The Half Moon Bay Art & Pumpkin Festival was scheduled for October 17-18, and the Ol' Fashioned Fourth of July Parade was going to take place on July 4.

The Half Moon Bay Beautification Committee Board of Directors canceled the events due to the ongoing developments and uncertainty resulting from the novel coronavirus pandemic.

"This is absolutely heartbreaking, far beyond words, for our festival committee," said Cameron Palmer, Chairman of the Half Moon Bay Beautification Committee. "We know fully well the Pumpkin Festival's critical importance as a fund-raiser for more than 30 participating non-profit groups from the community - that is the essence of the festival. The festival is also a premier showcase event for independent artists, musicians and corporate partners and a major economic boost for the entire coastside so it's a big blow to those fronts as well."

"Beyond that, the Pumpkin Festival and 4th of July Parade have been shining lights for decades, bringing people together joyfully and contributing greatly to our sense of place and our sense of community, said Palmer. It's deeply, deeply saddening having to cancel them."

However, officials said it is still planning to hold the 2020 Safeway World Championship Pumpkin Weigh-Off on October 12 in Half Moon Bay. The committee says it will be working closely with city and county officials on the measures that will need to be put in place in order to hold the weigh-off.
