Celebrate autumn by the lake 🎃
In the province of Lecco, you can experience the thrill of picking your favorite pumpkins in a fun pumpkin patch on the shores of Lake Annone. After the colorful tulip field, now this place will open its doors to visitors to spend a day among the pumpkins.
A long-awaited return: the seventh edition
The year 2024 marks an important milestone for this fantastic event: the seventh consecutive season! Year after year, Galbiate’s Campo dei Fiori has been able to reinvent itself, always offering new surprises to its visitors. This year, the experience promises to be even more engaging and full of new features.
What to expect
Until Nov. 3, 2024, that magical place that is home to beautiful tulips in spring is transformed into an autumn paradise. You’ll be able to pick your favorite pumpkin straight from the field, pick it with a delicious wheelbarrow and take it home. For the little ones, there are creative workshops and activities designed for the whole family.
Don’t miss the opportunity to take unforgettable photos among the pumpkins and warm autumn colors by the lake!
What’s new for the 2024 Edition
This year’s Pumpkin Camp offers:
- Carving workshops: learn how to carve and decorate your own pumpkin with experts in the field.
- Games and Activities: an area dedicated to children’s games, with adventure trails and fun challenges.
- Food Truck: tasty fall dishes and typical desserts to satisfy every palate. Don’t forget to try local specialties!
- A festive and slightly “spooky” atmosphere: playful ghosts, smiling skeletons and cute spiders populate the field, enchanting young and old alike.
- Special events: every weekend there will be themed events, such as live music nights and shows to entertain the whole family.
A dive into biodiversity
The You-pick camp is also an opportunity to discover “forgotten” varieties of edible pumpkins, culinary treasures with unique and delicious taste, bizarre shapes and surprising flavor. Such as spaghetti squash or citron squash, perfect for those who love to experiment in the kitchen.
But the surprises do not end there. The field has been enriched with ornamental gourds of every imaginable shape and color that you can take home to enjoy original decorations that will last throughout the season.
A scavenger hunt for all children
Little ones will be thrilled to participate in a super fun “pumpkin hunt.” Their mission will be to find hand-decorated pumpkins with funny little faces, hidden among the colorful leaves. And the treasures found can be taken home as a memento of the day.
It is an activity that stimulates curiosity and imagination, turning a simple walk into an unforgettable adventure.
Plus, not to be missed, the Labyrinth with Straw Pool!
