Admission to the festivities is free. World-famous Pie-and-Burger will be pulling its food truck up to the market and selling various flavors of fresh pie. There will also be a children’s free piesta featuring creative juggling by Mike (including juggling favorite pie ingredients), a “pieathelon” that includes a flour-sack toss, egg balancing and a Crisco-covered balloon toss, pie making, and decorating and sifting for treasures in pastry flour. Pony rides and a petting zoo will also be available for a nominal fee.

No pie event would be complete without a pie eating contest, and Pie Bake A’la Beverly Hills has one for the adults and one just for the kids. Last year the L.A. Times wrote “Forget cupcakes—pies are hot” and the Daily News called pies a new food trend—so come get a slice of the action. Of course, all the regular farmers and prepared foods vendors will be in their usual spots at the market.
