Inspired by the vibrant Mexican Día de los Muertos celebrations (The day of the dead), Botanical Garden of Prague has planned stunning pumpkin displays. With its brilliant array of colors, autumn is nature’s most artistic season—one that even the most skilled painter would struggle to match.
The exhibition will also include Halloween celebrations on 31 October, featuring an evening lantern parade through the garden.
Immerse yourself in our garden’s perfect blend of Mexican culture and autumn charm, and enjoy a season filled with fun and creative activities for all ages.
This year’s exhibition is inspired by the vibrant celebrations of Día de los Muertos, the traditional Mexican holiday that honors the memory of the deceased and celebrates life. The garden will be transformed with spooky skulls, skeletons, and other Mexican-themed decorations, creating the atmosphere of this unique festival. The exhibition is a collaboration between students from the Czech Horticultural School in Mělník, led by Petra Křížová.
Alongside the exhibition, there will be a rich weekend program packed with creative activities. On the weekend of 12 and 13 October is a Mexican-themed Craft Workshop. The following weekend, 19 and 20 October, will be dedicated to Pumpkin Fun. On the final weekend of October, 26 and 27, there’s a chance to carve pumpkins and create your very own pumpkin lanterns. All activities will be held in our covered Exhibition Hall, rain or shine.
