This autumn, Titan Park turns pumpkin-orange. From Friday–Sunday, 17–19 October 2025, Titan Pumpkin Fest brings art, food, music, and hands-on workshops right into the heart of Sector 3. Entry is free.
Where it happens
The festival unfolds around the Main Stage area of Titan Park and the Titan Stallion statue, with easy access from Str. Liviu Rebreanu. Expect clearly marked areas, photo spots, and friendly volunteers.
Four themed zones to explore
Titan Pumpkin Fest is designed for wandering. You’ll find creative workshops, a show & performance zone, a shopping alley featuring Romanian makers, and an expanded food court inspired by pumpkin and autumn flavours.
Pumpkin Carving Marathon: 3 tons of creativity
It’s the headline attraction: about 3 tons of pumpkins are up for grabs for visitors to carve during guided workshops. Kids and adults alike can roll up their sleeves and create their own lanterns and characters.
Workshop hours:
- Fri, 17 Oct: 14:00–21:00
- Sat–Sun, 18–19 Oct: 10:00–21:00
Taste of autumn: from Romanian comfort to global bites
This year’s food court is bigger and tastier, turning pumpkin into the star of the menu. You’ll see a parade of seasonal dishes, from traditional Romanian favourites to international street food.
Romanian comfort food
Think steaming grills, sarmale, pickles, kettle-cooked stews, and rustic pies baked on the hearth. Pumpkin rules the dessert counter, featuring sweet pumpkin pies and Turkish-style pies with pumpkin, cheese, spinach, or meat. For something sweet after, look for house-made chocolate, baklava, and kataif.
Street food & Halloween specials
Try pumpkin burgers, Sri Lankan-inspired pumpkin dishes with warming spices, and artisan pizza perfect for a quick bite between activities.
Sweet breaks & seasonal drinks
Refuel with pumpkin bubble tea, speciality coffee, aromatic teas, hot chocolate, fresh lemonades, autumn must, and seasonal fruit. Classic fair treats—cotton candy and traditional sweets—are never far away.
Hands-on workshops for all ages
Creativity gets centre stage. Throughout the festival, you can join:
- Music mini-workshops
- Painting on ceramic and sand
- Painting on plaster pumpkins
- Halloween face painting
- Quirky keychain crafting
- Henna tattoos and colourful braids
- DIY Halloween masks and “monster slime”
- Glitter-decorated pumpkins
Pony rides by the lake: kids’ favourite
Back by popular demand, pony rides run all weekend in the wooded area near the lake, supervised by trained staff. Kids can meet the ponies, learn how they’re cared for, and enjoy a short, safe ride.
Hours: Sat, 18 Oct, 10:00–21:00 and Sun, 19 Oct, 10:00–21:00. Cameras ready—these are the family photos you’ll keep.
The Autumn Photo corner
Step into an “instant autumn” set: pumpkin stacks, straw bales, seasonal flowers, scarecrows, and rustic props. The photo corner stays open the entire festival, so families, couples, and friends can take that perfect pumpkin-orange shot for the feed.
Parades, live music, and DJ sets
The festival channels a cosy Halloween vibe—costumes welcome!
- Cosplay Parade: Sat, 18 Oct, 14:00 – anime and pop-culture outfits are in the spotlight.
- Halloween Costume Parade: Sun, 19 Oct, 16:00 – mystery, capes, and all things spooky.
