BREWING HITS SAN DIEGO for a mischievous day of PUMPKIN THEMED BREWS,
live entertainment, twisted experientials, squash-based foodie
creations, hidden surprises and so much more! ON SATURDAY, OCTOBER 30
FROM 3:25PM TO 10:25PM, the streets of the Gaslamp Quarter will be
transformed into a gourd-geous mecca of all things nonsensical as
misfits unite to celebrate brews, boos and beats.
The rock star of the day will be the Pumpkin flavored craft brews
accompanied by farm house flavors, fresh hops, wet hops, saisons and
more to give your palette an autumnal explosion of over 40+ seasonal
concoctions. Pocket of taps will be scattered through the venue with
coveted brews popping up in unexpected corners like the Ale
Apothecary, Headless Horsemen Hideaway and Jack-O’s Tavern. This is
one party you don’t want to be late for! The fest kicks off with the
ultimate keg tapping as rivers of beer flow straight into your
commemorative cup from the over 1000lb giant pumpkin keg.
In this world undefined by logic, SteamPunkin presides as a meld of
steampunk and all things pumpkin. Expect the unexpected with a roguish
line-up of bands and djs that give you just the right off-kilter
balance of edge and energy. Get a taste of your favorite Throwback
hits from No Duh (No Doubt cover band) who will mix the experience &
energy of a live No Doubt & Gwen Stefani concert with nostalgic
visuals, styling’s & props of the No Doubt & Gwen Stefani videos to
make it feel like the real thing! Feeling a little bit more of an 80s
vibe while sippin’ on your Pumpkin Brew? The Young Guns Ultimate
80’s Band repertoire adeptly covers the greatest 80s songs ever
recorded, while rocking attire that says “I love the 80s”, epic
dance moves and guitar riffs, this cover band will have you up on your
feet & thirsty for more beer! The musical extravaganza continues with
Member Only Yacht Club who will be performing all your favorite soft
rock jams of the 70s and 80s. We got our EDM lovers covered with the
likes of top San Diego DJs, DJ Yodah and Parradax! Immerse yourself in
the sick beats and groove all night long.
The power of pumpkin does not stop at libations and will inspire
specialty foodie creations at the food booths & trucks! Sample squash
inspired flavors and vote on your favorite snack like caramelized
onion and butternut squash pizza, pumpkin chili, pumpkin cheesecake
and more!
Themed experientials will catch you off gourd at every turn as you
navigate a non-formulaic corn row maze, step through photo opps of
anarchy, glimpse your fate in a corner of clairvoyant readers and
stumble upon the gravity defying twists of striking themed
performances.
A little friendly competition never hurt nobody! Enter to compete or
take a seat on the bleachers to root for your bestie in the Gourd
Games. These strong man-style games include; Pumpkin Throwing, Pumpkin
Pole Climb, The Pumpkin Squat, Pumpkin Pie Eating, Pumpkin Seed
Spitting & more.

in orange, dress in black; dress steampunk, dress just punk… BUT,
