On November 2nd, Odessa Zoo hosted a delightful event - "Pumpkin Festival". 

That day, the green area of the zoo transformed into a hub of excitement. Many children and adults arrived in costumes of fairy tale characters.

Visitors enjoyed complimentary face painting provided by talented artists.

Participants learned about the holiday's origins and engaged in various games and contests.

There were interesting workshops on making bats and creative stickers. Guests could also take photos in a police car or on a motorcycle.

In keeping with tradition, all children received candies. The event concluded with a spectacular wolf feeding, where the animals eagerly devoured meat hidden inside pumpkins.

Odessa Zoo expresses gratitude to Lyudmila Nasarzhievska, Tatyana Trufanova, the "New Life" Charity Fund, the Serafim Sarovsky Children's Fund, the "Caritas Odessa UGCC" Charity Fund, and representatives of the Odessa Region Patrol Police for their support in organizing the festival.
