Beverly Hills Farmers' Market plans Harvest Festival Oct. 25

The Beverly Hills Farmers' Market hosts its annual Harvest Festival on Sunday, Oct. 25, with a costume parade, pumpkin contest and multicultural dance performances.

The Fall Funtastic Harvest Festival runs from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the market's regular home on the 9300 block of Civic Center Drive, according to the city's event listing. Performances include a Día de los Muertos celebration dance and a Diwali dance, giving the morning a reach well beyond Halloween. The market itself stays open until 1 p.m.

Activities begin at 8 a.m. and include Trunk or Treat, a pumpkin patch, face painting, hands-on art making, a petting zoo and Beverly Hills Spooky Storytelling.

Families entering the People's Choice Pumpkin Carving and Decorating Contest must drop off their carved or decorated pumpkins by 9 a.m. Market visitors vote for their favorite by placing a candy corn in the box next to their pick. Winners will be announced at 11:45 a.m.

A Halloween costume parade wraps up at the Fall Funtastic Stage at 10:45 a.m. Pacifico Dance Company takes the stage at 11 a.m. for a Día de los Muertos celebration dance. The company has partnered with the City of Beverly Hills Community Services Department on cultural programming, including a Día de los Muertos performance at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in November 2025.

A Diwali dance performance closes the festival at noon. The event also features Día de los Muertos altar-making and Diwali-themed art activities.
