Zucca Days

In the enchanting setting of the Bassa Ferrarese region, Casumaro transforms into an orange kingdom during Zucca Days, a celebration dedicated to one of the most versatile and beloved fruits of Emilian cuisine. Two days entirely devoted to pumpkin in all its forms: from steaming soups to filled tortelli, from creamy risottos to surprising desserts, through to savory pies and crispy fritters. A sensory journey where the queen of the autumn garden reigns supreme in every dish and culinary creation. But Zucca Days is more than just a feast for the palate: the event features a rich program of activities that involve the entire community and captivate visitors of all ages. Carving workshops, artistic exhibitions, themed contests and agricultural product displays transform the hamlet into an open-air museum where tradition and creativity meet. Folk music, live performances and children's games keep alive the festive and family-friendly spirit that characterizes this initiative. An unmissable opportunity to immerse yourself in the true essence of the Emilian countryside, discover ancient and shared flavors, and experience the authentic spirit of a community that knows how to celebrate the gifts of its land with generosity and imagination.
