Rudolfingen Kürbisbeleuchtung
Village Lit up by Pumpkins
*** No Longer Taking Place ***
.
Sadly, the Halloween spirit and the theme of pumpkins, could not be continued this year with a trip to the Rudolfingen Kürbisbeleuchtung. Last year’s event was cancelled due to Covid and a decision was made this year for the event to be cancelled forever. This beautiful event which used to take place on the first Friday and Saturday of November each year will say no longer be taking place. However, if you take a look below you can see some photos of previous events….
Rudolfingen Illuminated only by Pumpkin Light
When the event took place in Rudolfingen he whole village turned off the lights at 6pm and was illuminated only by pumpkins! Everywhere you would find displays of pumpkins of different shapes and sizes. Hundreds having been painstakingly carved into various characters or sculptures and lit in different ways. The atmosphere was always festive and very magical.
A Celebration with Pumpkin Specialities and Local Wine
Pop up restaurants were set up to tempt you with their delicacies after you’ve walked around the village and surveyed the great collection of pumpkins. You could enjoy pumpkin soup and local specialities including wine from the village vineyards.
Transport From Zurich to Rudolfingen
There were good transport links to Rudolfingen with a Postbus connection from the local stations and a (paid) parking lot available if you drove by car. For more information on the situation regarding the Rudolfingen Kürbisbeleuchtung please go to the Rudolfingen website.
