Festival planned for Mavericks Surf Contest

HALF MOON BAY — Fans of the Mavericks Surf Contest will find a big party going on in Half Moon Bay while surfers take on the largest waves in the Bay Area. The contest organizers have decided to hold a festival on the day that the competition takes place.

The festival will begin at 8am and run until sunset in the parking lot of the Oceano Hotel and Spa. It’s taking place as the beach and bluffs were declared off-limits to the general public after injuries occurred from the cliffs to giving way to crowds a few years ago.

12,000 people will be able to attend the event. And if the weather conditions don’t produce the big waves this year, the festival will still go on during the last possible day for the contest, March 31st.
