Happy Halloween!! This past September we went to Switzerland and visited a pumpkin festival!  We had been to several pumpkin festivals in Germany before – which I wrote about here in 2016 and here in 2013.

The theme for the festival was mythical creatures.

All of these statues are created from all different types of gourds and pumpkins!

It is so fun to see what they create!

In addition to pumpkin statues, they have a restaurant where they serve pumpkin everything – pumpkin soup, pumpkin bread, pumpkin rolls, pumpkin strudel, pumpkin beer, pumpkin pastries, etc.

We loved their pumpkin soup and spent a long time figuring out the recipe for it.  Then we went back a few years later and they sold the recipe! Here is my German pumpkin soup recipe.

It is also a Fall and Harvest festival.  I thought these dried corns were cool and funky.

Of course you can purchase various types of gourds.

And pumpkin flavored anything!

The dried things below on the cart are either dried artichokes or dried thistles. I can’t tell, but it is interesting to see how they decorate differently for Fall.

I leave you with pictures of various pumpkins and gourds!  The festival we went to was located at Jucker Farm in Switzerland.  For those that read regularly, I will be posting pictures and trip updates, most likely in January when I usually have my post Christmas blues.  Up until January I have so many posts to share for Fall, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas.

    These photos are incredible! What creative ways to display pumpkins…they put my little jack-o-lanterns on my porch to shame! Looks like a fun trip!
