Autumn is the most colorful time of the year and nature plays with a range of colors that no painter can mix. We will bring you closer to this colorful palette at the popular pumpkin exhibition.
The pumpkin has slowly made its way into the consciousness of people all over the world and has not only become an integral part of the menu but also serves as an autumn decoration. Let your imagination play out the story with the mysterious pumpkin arrangements prepared for you by Czech Horticultural Academy Mělník and let yourself be carried away by the color palettes of autumn.
This time the pumpkin arrangements will be inspired by Celtic culture and the festival of Samhain, which gave rise to Halloween.
Enjoy colorful autumn full of fun, events, and creative making for young and old.

Pumpkin hollowing at the time of All Souls' Day is an old Celtic tradition.

The afternoon will be enriched by musical performances and young and old alike can try their hand at various Celtic crafts.
There will be competitions and tricky tasks for children until dark. Scary masks are welcome. We will compete for the best one!
