Pumpkin Shows at Long Hill in Beverly to Headline Halloween

September 15, 2021

The Trustees of Reservations (The Trustees) announces  the new Halloween on the Hill at the newly rejuvenated Long Hill, in Beverly, as well as a host of other Halloween programming at properties across Massachusetts.

 

“We’re thrilled to bring back our extremely popular pumpkin show at Naumkeag while also introducing a new event at Long Hill, meaning people across the Commonwealth now have easier access to our pumpkin events,” said Kristen Swanberg, Managing Director of Engagement, Education, and Visitor Analytics. “Nature puts on a show during fall in New England, and there are no better backdrops than our special outdoor places.”

 

From the Berkshires to the North Shore, people can see thousands of jack-o-lanterns (many hand-carved), experience light shows, walk “haunted” trails, and enjoy hot cider and snacks while being safely outdoors in nature.

Guests can experience it all for the entire month of October.
