World Famous Pumpkin Race
Manhattan Beach, CA
Free to watch
By Simir Shah
Racers roll decorated, wheeled pumpkins down Manhattan Beach Blvd toward the pier, with a festival on the street beforehand. It's a quirky, very kid-friendly fall tradition. Expect street closures between Ocean Ave and the pier.
