Everything revolves around the tasty and vitamin-rich "giant berry". You can bring your own pumpkins. The three heaviest specimens will compete for the title of "Pumpkin Giant 2025"! There will be lots of delicious, creative and informative things to do with the colorful garden giant.
Once again this year, the largest and heaviest pumpkin from the gardens of the Mecklenburg Lake District will be sought and awarded a prize. It is worth checking the pumpkins in your own garden beds to see if they are suitable for the competition and plan to transport them to Alt Schwerin. If the pumpkin weighs 25 kg or more, there is free entry for the owner and the prospect of the title "Pumpkin Giant 2025", which will be ceremoniously awarded after the weighing.
If you don't grow your own pumpkins, you'll find what you're looking for in the diverse selection at the market stall and can make your choice to take home for cooking pleasure or autumnal decorations. You can also get creative in the pumpkin workshop: Lantern carving, creating figures and colorful handicrafts are on the agenda here all day.
There will also be demonstrations with historical agricultural machinery from the exhibition.
The dedicated museum team has also thought about the physical well-being of all visitors and will be offering many delicious pumpkin variations. Educational information on pumpkin science will also be presented and tasty pumpkin specialties from the museum kitchen can be sampled and purchased.
An eventful and colorful autumn Sunday awaits all visitors who come to the pumpkin festival at the AGRONEUM Alt Schwerin - an event that no one should miss!
