What characterizes the market
Akazienstraße is one of Schöneberg's best-known shopping streets between Hauptstraße and Grunewaldstraße, lined with cafés, boutiques, and small shops. On the first weekend of October, it is closed to traffic and transformed into a festive autumn mile. The focus is on pumpkins: around 10,000 pieces in at least 20 varieties, from classic Hokkaido to Butternut, Spaghetti Squash, Patisson, and rare giant varieties like Atlantic Giant. In addition, there are rides, carousels, a stage program, arts and crafts, and food stalls.
