The 2026 party is Saturday, October 31, starting at 2:30pm. It only goes ahead if 50 people sign up, so book early and watch for a confirmation from the farm.

Tickets for the 2026 party are €7.50 on the farm's booking site. Last year pumpkins were sold separately (4 euros a kilo, or 7 euros each); 2026 pumpkin prices are not posted yet.

Can we come on a normal day just to pick a pumpkin?

Last year the patch was open for visits through late October on days other than the party days, with a morning or afternoon slot. The 2026 visit days are not posted yet.

What happens at the party itself?

Kids pick and carve a pumpkin, there is wood-fired pizza at the lounge, and there is wine for the grown-ups. Families spread out on the lawn for the afternoon. It is a farm, so dress for mud and bring a layer for when the sun drops.

Can we pay at the gate?

No. Everything is pre-booked online, and last year they said plainly that there are no tickets at the door.

It is easiest with one. Can Picard sits above the village of Alella, about half an hour from Barcelona, and the last stretch is a farm track rather than a bus stop.

About

Alella Green Tech runs this on its Can Picard farm. The patch sits on an open hillside, so kids walk out among the vines, pick a pumpkin, cut it themselves and carve it at the long wooden tables. Party days are the big version, with the whole hillside busy. On quiet days the patch opens just for picking and carving.

Getting there

Notes: About 25 to 30 minutes by car from Barcelona on the C-32, leaving at the Alella exit. The e19 express bus from Ronda de Sant Pere stops in Alella village, about 1 km from the farm; check its weekend timetable before you rely on it.
