The Thuringia Pumpkin Festival Returns: A Spectacle Not to Be Missed
Get ready for a pumpkin-filled extravaganza as the Thuringia Pumpkin Festival returns to Strandbad Breitungen on September 13th and 14th, 2025. This annual event, known for its giant pumpkins, family-friendly activities, and culinary delights, promises to be an unforgettable experience for all.
The festival will feature an impressive display of pumpkins, with giants of various pumpkin varieties taking centre stage. The aim is to beat the existing record, set in 2018, with a winning pumpkin weighing an impressive 916.5 kg. Local schools and kindergartens will also participate in the competition for Thuringian show pumpkins.
Bravery will be rewarded as participants can compete for the title of Thuringian pumpkin kayak champion in the much-anticipated pumpkin kayak race, scheduled for September 14th.
The festival offers a sensory experience with music, fun, and children's activities. On the first day, an Early Halloween Party will be introduced for children, starting from 5 PM. Here, children can celebrate, dance, and play in their Halloween costumes, with a jury awarding the most original costumes.
Adults can enjoy a varied cake buffet, fish dishes, and Thuringian Rostbratwurst while soaking in the festive atmosphere. The culinary delights will be available on both days of the festival.
The Thuringia Pumpkin Festival is more than just a celebration; it's an opportunity to celebrate community and forge new friendships. The event is supported by TEAG, the Schmalkalden-Meiningen district administration, and regional companies.
Strandbad Breitungen, one of the most beautiful Thuringian lakes, will once again play host to this event. For the most precise schedule, records, and highlights in 2025, we recommend checking the official Erfurt city tourism website or the dedicated pumpkin festival page closer to September 2025.
