Bostaniada is a wine-eco-ethno-gastronomic festival. The first edition of the pumpkin festival in Moldova took place on October 28, 2012 in Lozova, being very appreciated by the public. The main objective of this event is the promotion of the national culture and the consumption of the pumpkin which is the symbol of the end of autumn.
This is an opportunity to taste the best of our country, such as pumpkin placinte (pies), various pumpkin products as well as traditional quality dishes, prepared with fresh products. You will participate in interesting competitions, you will listen and dance to the music of guest artists and musical ensembles, and you can even talk to the most zealous pumpkin growers.
You can find out how the festival was in 2018, in the video below.
