What to expect?
We strongly encourage you to register your pies online, ahead of time. You can easily do so here.
You may also register your pies in person the day-of the event.
Please bring something to serve your pie with (pie server, spatula, whatever works).
Some people like to make little signs that go with their pie, give it a name, etc. You don’t have to, but you can. But you DO need to bring a recipe card or list of your pie ingredients (for food allergy purposes).
Please get to Peninsula Park, picnic site B, no later than 1pm. You can even get there early if you want to make sure you’re good-to-go.
From about 1pm-3pm, judging will take place. There’s not a lot to watch during this time. We suggest you bring a picnic, or games, or a blanket, and just explore and enjoy this historic park. The sunken rose garden with a fountain is pretty special. And lucky for you, our friends at KoiFusion will have their fantastic taco truck adjacent to the park and the Pie-Off from 1-3pm: grab some Korean tacos and grub!
Once judging is completed, and all of the pies have been tasted, scores tallied, we’ll have a quick, informal awards ceremony. No microphone, no fancy speeches, just lots of applause and ribbons and prizes for the winners, and their opportunity to stand by their winning pie and take in the moment of winning.
Then everyone will be able to eat pie: that’s the real win, isn’t it?
mmmPie!
