Cal Poly Pomona's Annual Pumpkin Festival Happens Saturday and Sunday

Also happening this weekend on campus is the Insect Fair at the Bronco Student Center.

The Cal Poly Pomona Farm Store will host its twenty-first annual Pumpkin Festival on Saturday October and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The event will provide activities for the whole family, including a petting zoo, horse rides, a corn maze, live entertainment, and food and craft vendors. You may want to bring a wagon to haul your pumpkins and wear comfortable shoes as you search through the patch for the perfect pumpkin.

Enjoy a stack of pancakes and some delicious Cal Poly Pomona orange juice at our Pancake Breakfast from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m.   Adults are $5 and children 12 and under are $4.  If you miss the pancake breakfast there will be plenty of other food choices such as pizza, subs, hot dogs, tacos, barbeque, and much more.

If you like bugs, visit the Insect Fair at the Bronco Student Center from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. View over 500,000 live and preserved insects, and for those brave enough, some may even be handled such as the Mediterranean Hissing Cockroach.   Admission is $6.00 for adults, $4.00 for children 3-12 years old, and free for children under two.
