Get ready for Halloween by coming to the 45th annual Half Moon Bay Art and Pumpkin Festival on October 17 & 18. Pumpkin Fest is the annual festival in October to celebrate the spooky season of Halloween and everyone's favorite fall food: the pumpkin!

There will be plenty of events for the entire family at the Pumpkin Fest. If you have younger children, they can participate in the pie eating contest or the costume contest! If you have older children, have them check out the Haunted House or the zip line across the festival. As always, there will be a big parade starting at noon on Saturday and pie eating contests on both days!

Pacific Coast Television's very own intern, Justin Phu, sat down with James Parsons to talk about what it's like at Fog Fest.

Justin Phu: How long have you been volunteering with PCT for Fog Fest?

James Parsons: I've been volunteering at the Fog Fest for 9 years.

Justin Phu: What's your favorite part about Fog Fest?

James Parsons: There's always a lot of entertainment, like all the bands playing, and people watching can be fun as well.

Justin Phu: What is the best part of volunteering for PCT during Fog Fest?

James Parsons: Meeting the entertainers, especially at the South Side since it's easier to talk to them before they go on stage.

Justin Phu: What advice would you give someone volunteering for Fog Fest for the first time?

James Parsons: Always ask Jason or Marty [the supervisors] on what to do and tell them how long you want to volunteer for.

Justin Phu: Which booth do you recommend checking out?

James Parsons: The Sandpit.

Justin Phu: Where would you find more information at Fog Fest?

James Parsons: At the Southside of the festival where the bands are playing has a lot of information.

Justin Phu: Why should people go to Fog Fest?

James Parsons: It started out as "making fun of our fog" but they pick this particular weekend since it's less likely to be foggy so it's great weather for a festival. Artists from as far as LA would come to show their works. It's a nice atmosphere. I recommend you bring cash only, there might not be very many ATMs in the area.

Fog Fest is September 26-27 from 10 AM- 5 PM both days.

If you're interested in volunteering along side James, give us at call at (650)355-8001. Let us know what times you're available and we can get you on your way.

Training for Fog Fest is at the end of September, check out our production calendar for exact dates and times.

The 30th annual Fog Fest will be here next month. Fog Fest is a yearly showcase of amazing musicians and local talent to celebrate the city of Pacifica. There will be Arts and Crafts booths as well as Food and Beverages booths throughout the festival. The big parade will begin at 10 AM Saturday morning throughout the south end of Palmetto Ave. Also there's a kids fun zone with carnival games and rides for young children.

However the main attraction to the Fog Fest has got to be the fantastic musical performances. Fog Fest has over 20 performers total in three different stages throughout the festival. There will be space for dancing in front of the stage to be able to enjoy the music up close.

This is a big year for Fog Fest as they have been chosen by the Super Bowl 50 Host Committee to host the 6,000 sq ft "50 Tour". The 8 Super Bowl Lombardi Trophies will be on display with huge media coverage and NFL star appearances.
