Celebration / Carnival Squashes are type of acorn shaped winter squashes with sweet flesh and beautiful skin. Their colour can vary from yellow through orange, green and white stripes and patches.
They can be eaten raw (I did read it somewhere but not tried myself), cooked, baked, grilled or fried.
Celebration squashes are long life vegetables and can be stored for up to 6 months.

I love the festive colors of carnival squash. I don’t know about eating it raw though! I love my roasted the best.
I have seen raw food recipes that feature grated squash.
6 month, eh? that’s great and works well in my kitchen as much i let food just it on my counter.. glad to hear ur doing well. i got ur message on FB.. let’s catch up this week! :)
Beautiful pictures! How amazing that these seem so similar to normal pumpkins but can last for six months. I’m still trying to get my head round which varieties of squash/pumpkin roast well and which are more on the watery side
I love the colours on these – so cheerful!
