In the organizer's words:
Pumpkin exhibition 2025: theme BIG CINEMA
In 1997, the first pumpkin exhibition took place at the Juckerhof in Seegräben. Three years later, the Jucker brothers Martin and Beat Jucker brought the pumpkin exhibition to the Blühende Barock in Ludwigsburg near Stuttgart (DE). Since then, the "largest pumpkin exhibition in the world" has been held there every year.
The pumpkin exhibition at the Blühende Barock Ludwigsburg transforms the palace gardens into an impressive world of pumpkin art. This year, the focus is on pumpkin figures from the world of film, including well-known personalities and characters from Hollywood classics and modern blockbusters such as Charlie Chaplin, Marilyn Monroe, Harry Potter and Star Wars.
In addition to the impressive pumpkin sculptures, visitors can also enjoy culinary delights such as the famous pumpkin soup, pumpkin maultaschen and pumpkin secco. Events such as the pumpkin slaughter festival, the pumpkin carving festival, the pumpkin weighing championships and the pumpkin regatta provide additional entertainment.
The exhibition ends at the beginning of November, but some pumpkin figures can still be admired until the beginning of December as part of the Luminous Dream Trails.
In addition to the highlights of the pumpkin exhibition already mentioned, there are also many exciting events organized by JuckerFarm, such as the pumpkin carving world, pumpkin fairy tales, pumpkin variety show, pumpkin carving, the pumpkin quiz and numerous activities, including:
- Pumpkin Regatta
- Germany's largest pumpkin soup
- Giant pumpkin carving festival
- Halloween carving event
