Pumpkin Festival Am Himmel
A seasonal farmer's market
Since 1999, the popular pumpkin farmers' market Am Himmel has been centred around pumpkins and Styrian delicacies, mainly from Fürstenfeld pumpkin farmers as well as some farmers from the surrounding regions. It's a festival for the whole family!
At the Styrian Farmers' Market, visitors can find first-class produce directly from the farmers of Styria. The best way to explore the culinary diversity of Styria? With Schilcher-Sturm, schnapps, beetle beans, pumpkin seeds, Vulkanland ham, Ennstaler Steirerkas and pumpkin delicacies of all kinds. Browse a selection of handicrafts with traditional music to set the atmosphere.
Meanwhile, younger visitors can build and try out their own kites at the kite-making workshop. Once again this year, over 200 different pumpkin varieties await visitors - for pumpkin carving (at home only), as ornamental pumpkins or for home cooking.
