In a seasonal spectacle, the Santa Monica Farmers Market is hosting its highly-anticipated annual 'All You Can Carry Pumpkin Patch' event.Commencing on this picturesque Wednesday, October 18, 2023, the market's central location at 2nd and Arizona has been artfully transformed into a veritable pumpkin haven.

Event Details and Rules:

1. Admission Fee: Attendees are required to pay a $10 entrance fee, with cash as the sole mode of payment.
2. Hand-Picking Only: The rules emphasize a hands-on approach. Visitors must select their pumpkins unassisted, with no tools, carts, or companions allowed.
3. The Challenge: Perhaps the most exhilarating aspect of this event is the challenge to carry selected pumpkins 25 feet out of the patch. Rolling and dropping are strictly prohibited. Success in this endeavor means ownership of the pumpkins.

The Pumpkin Patch is open for all to enjoy between 8:30 am and 12:30 pm, contingent upon the availability of pumpkins. Enthusiasts are advised to arrive early to ensure the finest selection.

In the spirit of the season, participants are encouraged to don their most imaginative costumes. Competitive spirits can seize this opportunity to shine, demonstrating their pumpkin-carrying skills while joining in the overall merriment.

The Santa Monica Farmers Market is beckoning all to partake in the ambiance of the fall season. As the event unfolds, anticipation is high to witness the impressive feats of pumpkin-carrying prowess, coupled with the creative spectacle of attendees' costumes. 🎃🍂🎉
