The pumpkin is a symbol of autumn. And it is during this time of the year, comes its harvest and consumption, as if its arrival announces the end of summer and the definitive arrival of the cold.
Therefore, beyond being a symbol of Halloween, it is also a symbol for other cultures, such as ours, where we traditionally celebrate Tots Sants, All Saints, with our own monsters.
To vindicate our own traditions, several associations of Campanar-Benimàmet have organized the traditional Festa de la Carabassa de l’Horta with the aim of celebrating Tots Sants in community and vindicate the pumpkin as food from our own garden.
This festival will be held on Friday October 25 at Plaça Lluis Cano in Benimàmet. Here we leave you all the activities to enjoy this great pumpkin festival so you do not miss anything.
