World’s Largest Pumpkin Exhibition at Blühendes Barock Ludwigsburg – August 23 to November 2, 2025

The Pumpkin Exhibition transforms the palace gardens into an impressive world of pumpkin art. This year, the focus is on pumpkin figures from the film world, featuring iconic characters from Hollywood classics and modern blockbusters such as Charlie Chaplin, Marilyn Monroe, Harry Potter, and Star Wars.

In addition to the striking pumpkin sculptures, visitors can enjoy culinary delights like the famous pumpkin soup, pumpkin dumplings, and pumpkin sparkling wine. Special events, including the Pumpkin Battle Festival, Pumpkin Carving Festival, Pumpkin Weighing Championships, and Pumpkin Regatta, provide extra entertainment.

While the exhibition officially ends in early November, some pumpkin figures remain on display until early December during the Leuchtende Traumpfade event.
