00:00A castle next to Brussels is holding its annual pumpkin festival.
00:03There are so many pumpkins around the castle that no one knows the exact number, even the organizer.
00:09A lot, a lot. We have larrys coming with pumpkins, pumpkins and pumpkins.
00:13Pumpkins were gathered not only from Belgium but also all the way from Portugal or Germany.
00:17A lot from Belgium. We have in the region of Ghent, a farmer who is producing those big ones as
00:25well.
00:25The biggest one is right next to me, weighing 772 kilograms.
00:30They seem like surreal. We have our own pumpkins at home, and we have a really big one, and it's
00:37this size, and then we see this.
00:40Some of the big pumpkins were also turned into boats, despite the harvest not being the greatest due to the
00:46hot summer.
00:46Yeah, the pumpkin is pretty fun. The kayak, it's just sad maybe you cannot go further.
00:52But yeah, it's also pretty tough to kayak on it.
00:56But people like that, and they put their baby in the water and the pumpkin, and they take pictures.
01:02Sailing in a pumpkin is not the only activity.
01:04The most popular one is pumpkin carving, as everyone is preparing for Halloween.
01:09You have to follow what the pumpkin suggests to you. You have a shape, and this is a big constraint,
01:19and actually you just play with it.
01:21He makes two, three works per day, with the one that he's holding in his hands taking around two hours.
01:27But those who attend the festival are also going for easier designs.
01:32It's actually surprisingly easier than I expected, you know, but I can see that a lot of people go for
01:39really
01:40intriguing design, and I think we will just keep it as simple as possible.
01:43We've been here longer than everyone else so far, and we're not done yet. But it's really fun, it's not
01:53that hard.
02:17The festival will be running until the beginning of November.
02:22I think that's a good place, for reference work.
02:24And the festival, the festival will be coming.
02:26So again, the festival, the festival will be coming.
02:27And that's not the festival, the festival.
02:27It's going to be looking for the festival, and the festival will not only be уров, but the festival is
02:27simply called the festival.
