Le Rivau’s Pumpkin Festival: Gardens and Gourd Crafts

Le Rivau celebrates its collection of heritage cucurbits with tastings, garden activities, storytelling, gourd crafts and a gourmet market.

About this event


Pumpkins and gourds from Le Rivau’s vegetable heritage collection become material for food, sound and craft. Tastings and gardening activities share the festival with sculpting, storytelling and jugglers handling ornamental gourds. Cougourdonniers bring specialised gourd crafts to the gathering, while a gourmet market adds flavours to a family programme rooted in Touraine’s gardens.
