Fuori di Zucca

Fuori di Zucca 2025 - the 20th edition

The twentieth-anniversary edition of Fuori di Zucca was held on October 18 and 19, 2025, in Santa Maria Maggiore (VB), a recipient of the Touring Club Italiano's Orange Flag. The village's streets and squares were decorated with hundreds of pumpkins of every shape and color.

The heart of the festival was the Farmers' Market in Piazza Risorgimento, featuring autumn vegetables, fruit, aromatic herbs, cheeses, and zero-mile sweets, alongside themed restaurant menus. The program offered sweet and savory pumpkin-based tastings, roasted chestnuts, concerts and musical performances, art installations, exhibitions, guided tours, and street games, with the addition of the "Drink&Draw" event. The grand finale featured the amusing auction of pumpkins sold to the "worst offer."
