Kaiserslautern Gartenschau is currently showing an exhibition of pumpkins. On Sunday, visitors get to enjoy the pumpkin festival and be introduced to ancient Rome. All figures and Roman buildings have been made from pumpkins. More than 50,000 of them were handcarved into wonderful Roman characters and buildings. A special highlight in this year’s “Romans” pumpkin exhibition, are the popular french comic heroes Asterix and Obelix.
Visitors of all ages will be musically entertained by the jazz trio Elmar Federkeil on the stage set up at Neumuehlepark and the musical brass band from Otterbach, set up at the beer garden.
A highlight specifically for young visitors will take place at Neumuehlepark on Oct. 27, starting at 2 p.m. Children get to “harvest” pumpkins and carve them into creepy designs prepping for Halloween. They can also get their face painted and partake in handcrafting their own lantern. At dusk, children get to show off their handmade lanterns in a procession to finish the day. Special food offers for hungry “ghosts” will be available on site.
