About
Each autumn the University of Wrocław Botanical Garden fills with pumpkins of every shape and color, and growers bring their giants to the scales for the heaviest-pumpkin contest. Kids make chestnut figures and autumn flower arrangements, take on a pumpkin quiz and dance along with a local children's song-and-dance group. A market sells pumpkins, honey and crafts, and evening illuminations of pumpkin sculptures follow the festival.
