Pumpkin Festival Transforms Lichtenwalde Castle Park into a Colorful Circus Arena

The Pumpkin Festival at Lichtenwalde Castle Park in Chemnitz has begun, transforming the baroque park into a vibrant and festive space. The festival, which runs until November 2nd, features 18 impressive sculptures made from thousands of decorative and edible pumpkins.

Organizers have been working tirelessly for weeks, stacking hundreds of pumpkins onto wooden frames to create these magnificent sculptures. The sculptures include figures up to four meters tall, such as a horse with an acrobat, a tiger, and a four-meter tall white rabbit.

New additions to this year's festival include a walk-through pumpkin maze, an educational trail about pumpkins, and a straw playground for children. The walk-through pumpkin maze has been a hit, providing festival-goers with a fun and engaging way to navigate through the park.

The festival's theme this year is "Circus," and the sculptures reflect this theme beautifully. From the acrobat on the horse to the tiger, the sculptures capture the whimsy and excitement of the circus.

However, the artist or team behind these incredible creations remains unnamed in the available search results. Regardless, the sculptures are a testament to the creativity and hard work of the festival's organizers.

In addition to the sculptures, the festival offers a variety of activities for visitors of all ages. The straw playground for children provides a fun and safe space for little ones to play, while the educational trail about pumpkins offers a chance for visitors to learn more about these fascinating fruits.

So, if you're in the Chemnitz area, be sure to check out the Pumpkin Festival at Lichtenwalde Castle Park. It's a fun and educational experience that the whole family can enjoy.
