Pumpkin Weekend returns to Szent István Square in Szeged this Saturday and Sunday, October 26-27.
As usual, the Szeged Market and Fair Operator Company (SZVP) sets the autumn vibes at Szent István Square with a weekend of creative pumpkin carving, interactive and stage programs, a craft market, a carousel, and giant building blocks.
