All You Can Carry Pumpkin Patch Returns To Santa Monica

SANTA MONICA, CA – Santa Monica's annual All You Can Carry Pumpkin Patch is back on Wednesday, Oct. 31. Participants who can balance pumpkins down the 25-foot walkway get to take home their gourds for only $5 total. The record is nine pumpkins, can you beat it?

The event is at Santa Monica’s Wednesday Farmers Market and starts at 8 a.m. It will go until the pumpkins run out, and there is a $5 entrance fee.

This is the perfect way to stock up on pumpkins for fall festivities, the City of Santa Monica press release said. There's a limit of one entry per person, and costumes are encouraged. Participants can take home as many pumpkins as they can carry for $5 total, it's a great way to support local farmers and economy while having some Halloween fun, the city said.
