VIDEO: Malibu Digs into Pie Festival

Many came out to enjoy pie tasting, a pie eating contest, games, food trucks and live music at Malibu United Methodist Church.

A hands-free pie eating contest, a drumming circle, games and face painting were only some of the activities at the Malibu Pie Festival Saturday at Malibu United Methodist Church.

The festival, which is in its 23rd year, drew families from around Malibu. 

Pies from different categories were judged by Malibu civic and business leaders, including Al Sturgeon, Alan Barbako, Alan Kims, Anne Payne, Bruce Kane, Bryan Gabbard, Burt Ross, Catherine Dao, Debbie Rondell, Francesco Velasco, Jeff Harris, Jill Harris, Jill Matthews, John Lupo, Julie Carmen Hoffman, Keely Brosnan, Knowles Adkisson, Laura Rosenthal, Linda Meadows, Michael Preece, Missy Zeitsoff, Nidra Winger, Pam Herkner, Patti Mehring, R.A. Rondell, Siugen Constanza, Sonja Hedlund and Sgt. Mark Winn.
