Pumpkin Fair of Reggiolo

Pumpkin Fair 2025 — The Thirtieth Anniversary

The 30th edition of the Pumpkin Fair celebrated the thirtieth anniversary of the event, which began in 1996, enlivening Reggiolo on the weekends of September 20-21 and 27-28, 2025. At the center, as always, was the DeCo Reggiolo pumpkin tortelli, served alongside fried pumpkin, mustard, tortelli with Roquefort, braised beef with polenta, and cooked pork shoulder at the Pro Loco restaurant set up at Parco Salici.

Tastings included Saturday dinners (from 8:00 PM) and Sunday lunches (from 12:30 PM). On the final weekend, in Piazza dei Martiri and the historic center, the "Alta Qualità – Terra dei Gonzaga" market, pumpkin bread baked in wood-fired ovens, typical products, and artisans were featured. Sunday offered a rich program of shows: falconry with Cavozza Falchi, flag wavers and guardsmen, historical games, and ancient crafts, as well as a dance performance at the Teatro Rinaldi. An edition that confirmed the Pumpkin Fair as a key autumn event in the Bassa Reggiana region.
