Calabasas Pumpkin Festival

Did you know that Calabasas got its name from the Spanish word  "Calabaza" meaning "'pumpkin" OR "gourd"? Local legend has it that explorer Juan Bautista de Anza was traveling through the area now known as Calabasas when suddenly, his wagon full of pumpkins overturned. A few months later, the area saw its first pumpkin patch!

More than 200 years later, the Calabasas community returns to Juan Bautista de Anza Park to celebrate its namesake with friends, family, fun and of course, pumpkins!  Shop the Marketplace, try a new pumpkin dish, dance and sing along to great bands, and pick your pumpkin in the pumpkin patch.  There is so much to explore at The Calabasas Pumpkin Festival
