Pumpkin Days in Lana

28 September - 30 September 2012

This three-day-long culinary event in Lana revolves around pumpkins and squashes in all their various forms, colours and variations. Thanks to their great variety e.g. as marrow, winter squash, butternut squash and Asian pumpkin, pumpkins and squashes have a long tradition as a kitchen staple in South Tyrol's later summer kitchen. Visitors can enjoy a large variety of delicious dishes and innovative combinations with traditional Italian and Tyrolean specialities The fabulous food at this event is complemented by an exhibition in the Boznerstraße Street in Lana and a cultural and musical supporting programme.

Visitors at the Pumpkin Days can see the numerous tasty varieties at the stands and learn about their manifold uses. Along with delicious pumpkin dishes other products made from the fruit are also offered. Entertainment is provided by the pumpkin sculpture exhibition, the pumpkin carving event as well as the colourful kids programme.
