Carlsbad Autumn Harvest Fest

On Wednesday, October 29, from 3-6pm, the Carlsbad Village Association’s inaugural Harvest Fest will take place near the fountain at State Street and Grand Avenue adjacent to the State Street Farmers’ Market. Browse through products by local artisans and indulge in autumn goods like pies, jams, and kettle corn. The Boys & Girls Clubs of Carlsbad will host a variety of games, including bobbing for apples, fall fling corn hole, pumpkin relays, and more. An arts station will give kids the chance to create seasonal crafts, as well as get their faces painted. Harvest Fest will also offer rare Porcelain Doll Pink Pumpkins, with proceeds going towards breast cancer research through the Pink Pumpkin Patch Foundation. (www.carlsbad-village.com)
