With the popularity of Mavericks and typical nice weather in early October, we expect traffic will be heavy and parking will be limited.  We encourage locals to walk, rideshare or bike to ease the traffic and avoid delays.  To support this, we have added extra bike racks to the Festival layout in the Education Zone parking lot.

Come celebrate Mavericks and the men and women who dare to surf one of the most feared breaks on the planet.

The Mavericks Festival will take place on Saturday, October 1, 2022, at Pillar Point Harbor in Half Moon Bay. In addition to local seafood, music, vendor booths, and drinks, the focus of the community event will be on Mavericks, the athletes, water safety, and environmental education. The festival will showcase surf videos of Mavericks, a silent auction with one-of-a-kind Mavericks memorabilia, and incredible pictures taken by Mavericks photographers.
