Venzone, a picturesque town on the east bank of the Taglimento river, is the center of theFesta Della Zucca celebration this weekend with many things to see and taste.
Venzone is a theater of a large number of events every year and the most famous is certainly the Festa della Zucca, the Pumpkin Festival: two full days where the orange vegetable is the undisputed protagonist and you can experience how it was to live back in the Middle Ages.
Medieval music and dances, jugglers and fire-eaters, knights and merchants crowd together along the streets of the walled town; kids decorate pumpkins, street artists swallow swords, arts and crafts’ exhibitions and stands where you can taste pumpkin dishes, cakes and medieval wines colonize every courtyard of the hamlet.
This Sunday’s celebrations will begin at 10 am and finish around sunset. More information can be found here.
