When autumn shows its colorful side, everything in the sky over Vienna revolves around the pumpkin. At the traditional pumpkin farmers‘ market, Styrian farmers present more than 200 different types of edible and ornamental pumpkins. There are also regional delicacies, pumpkin carving for children, and other offerings for the whole family.

Especially for those still looking for a pumpkin for Halloween, the farmers‘ market offers a wide selection. In addition to classic edible pumpkins, numerous decorative varieties are also in the spotlight. The pumpkin festival takes place on Sat., 24th, Sun., 25th & Mon., 26th October 2026 (National Holiday) from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM each day.

The heart of the event is the pumpkin farmers‘ market. Styrian farmers traditionally bring more than 200 different pumpkin varieties to Vienna. The selection ranges from pumpkins for the kitchen to decorative specimens suitable for autumn decorations and Halloween.

Visitors can browse through the different shapes, colors, and sizes of the pumpkins and select suitable specimens for home.

In addition to the pumpkins, culinary delights also play an important role. On the pumpkin gourmet street, specialties from Styrian gourmet regions are offered.

These include East Styrian apples, Käfer beans, pumpkin seed oil, and horseradish. Thus, the farmers‘ market not only offers a large selection of pumpkins but also various regional foods from Styria.

Those who prefer to sit in a warm place can find another opportunity to stop by at the Café Restaurant Oktogon. There, traditional pumpkin dishes, pastries, and autumnal drinks like Schilcher-Sturm are on the menu.

Also for families with children, the autumn festival offers various program points. Especially the traditional pumpkin carving is among the offerings for the youngest visitors.

Here, children can design their own Halloween pumpkins and let their creativity run wild.

Another program point from past years is kite crafting. Together with the 1st Vienna Kite Flying Club, visitors could build their own kites and then let them soar on the expansive meadows at Himmel.

Whether kite crafting will also be offered at the next pumpkin festival is not clear from the available information.

Those who wish to visit the pumpkin farmers‘ market should plan their arrival. Parking options at Himmel and in the immediate vicinity are limited.

Therefore, it is recommended to use public transport, especially bus connections, or other travel options if possible.

A specific event date, opening hours, and possible entrance fees are not mentioned in the available information. These details should be checked before a visit.
