On October 18 and 19, the historic center of Filottrano transforms into an autumnal route filled with pumpkins, decorations, and seasonal flavors. The Pumpkin Festival returns for its twenty-fourth edition with a rich program of events for all ages.
Throughout the town, pumpkins of every shape, color, and size—fresh, dried, decorated, carved—celebrate creativity and rural tradition, blending with spooky and playful atmospheres. The center comes alive with markets, shows, games, food stands, roasted chestnuts, and mulled wine. Admission is free, and costumes are welcome, especially for children.
