World’s Largest Pumpkin Exhibition at Blühendes Barock Ludwigsburg – 22 August to 1 November 2026
From 23 August to 1 November 2026, Blühendes Barock Ludwigsburg will once again transform into a colorful pumpkin paradise. This year’s theme, “LET’S PLAY”, celebrates fun, games, and imagination.
Thousands of pumpkins will be crafted into elaborate sculptures, forming well-known figures like Super Mario, Barbie, and an XXL rocking horse. The exhibition invites visitors of all ages to marvel, explore, and participate.
In addition to the impressive pumpkin sculptures, guests can enjoy culinary delights such as the famous pumpkin soup, pumpkin ravioli, and pumpkin sparkling wine. Events including the Pumpkin Battle Festival, Pumpkin Carving Festival, Pumpkin Weighing Championships, and Pumpkin Regatta provide further entertainment.
The exhibition ends in early November, but some pumpkin figures will remain on display until early December as part of the Leuchtende Traumpfade (Illuminated Dream Paths).
