TRADE EVENTS
September 21, 2024, Seegräben, Switzerland – Jucker Farm is set to kick off its highly anticipated Pumpkin Exhibition on September 21, running through to October 20, 2024. This year’s theme, "Großes Kino" (Big Cinema), will bring cinematic magic to life with stunning pumpkin sculptures of famous movie characters such as Superman, Jurassic Park dinosaurs, and Charlie Chaplin. Held at the scenic Juckerhof in Seegräben, the exhibition is one of Switzerland's largest fall attractions, drawing thousands of visitors annually.
The Pumpkin Exhibition started in 1997 as a small, spontaneous display but has since evolved into an iconic event, celebrating creativity and agricultural tradition. Visitors can marvel at pumpkin figures crafted by skilled artists, with hundreds of pumpkin varieties used to create these large-scale works of art. The event highlights the versatility of pumpkins beyond their culinary uses.
