NK Pumpkin Cultivation 2025

The Dutch Pumpkin Growing Championship is the heaviest, craziest & funniest vegetable contest of the year! 

Who lifts the heaviest pumpkin onto the podium? Who wins the Miss Veggie Competition with the ugliest (and simultaneously most beautiful) vegetable from the vegetable patch? And which child comes forward with the heaviest child-sized pumpkin? There are prizes, ribbons, and above all, lots of hilarity and admiration for everything that grows and blooms.

Expected:

• Pumpkins weighing hundreds of kilos
• A humorous vegetable spectacle full of colour and character
• Stunning deformations in the Miss Veggie Competition
• Exciting prize ceremonies and enthusiastic growers

The Dutch Pumpkin Growing Championship is part of the Dutch Urban Farmers Festival (DUFF) – a free festival full of workshops, music, children’s activities, food trucks, and a green market. Your day out is therefore completely complete!
