In addition to alfalfa and almonds, Manteca's main crop is pumpkin. Today, Morton, IL may claim the title "Pumpkin Capital" for the fact that 90%
of America's canned pumpkin puree is produced there, but when it comes to the real thing - the big round one, not just something mushy in a can,
Manteca had the highest yields per acre in every pumpkin harvest in America for over 100 years. And we have the festival to prove it! This two-day event is organized by the Manteca Sunrise Kiwanis and celebrates Manteca as the true Pumpkin Capital of the World. It is held the first week end of October.
