Out of the pumpkin

Santa Maria Maggiore in the Vigezzo Valley turns orange for the annual pumpkin festival. Corners of the village, alleys and shop windows are populated with decorative pumpkins, almost creating an artistic, rural and Pop itinerary at the same time. In addition to the exhibits, there is the ever-present market of local agricultural producers. There are also guided walks, tastings, games for children, exhibitions, concerts and art activities. Please refer to the official website for the detailed program and insights on the various activities. Some of these are by reservation only, such as horseback riding and guided hikes.
