The Trustees Usher in Fall with the Return of Incredible Naumkeag Pumpkin Show and Halloween on the Hill
A family fun tradition synonymous with fall returns in October as The Trustees of Reservations prepare to welcome visitors back to the Incredible Naumkeag Pumpkin Show in Stockbridge and Halloween on the Hill at Long Hill in Beverly.
The show runs from Wednesdays through Sundays at both properties and opens on Oct. 1. Long Hill’s pumpkin show will end on Oct. 30, while Naumkeag will run through Oct. 31. The Incredible Naumkeag Pumpkin Show was named “best Halloween event in America” by Time Out New York in 2025.
Cauldrons, cobwebs, fairy houses, volcanoes, thousands of hand-carved jack-o'-lanterns, mums, pumpkins, and gourds transform Naumkeag into an autumnal haven. Every year there are new and expanded displays embracing October's mysterious magic for visitors of all ages to discover. At Long Hill, the gardens and woodland trail will feature an eerie graveyard, haunted pirate ship, stylish scarecrows, and thousands of glowing hand-carved pumpkins. Both shows offer “gently spooky” attractions appropriate for visitors of all ages.
Tickets are on sale for the signature pumpkin show events at Naumkeag and Long Hill. Timed-entry tickets must be purchased in advance. Tickets are not sold on-site.
Tickets are $32 for nonmember adults or $27 for Trustees’ member adults. Value Nights will be available on Wednesdays and Thursdays through Oct. 22, and also on Friday, Oct. 2, and Sunday, Oct. 4. Children’s tickets are $15 for nonmembers and $10 for Trustees members. On Family Value Nights at Naumkeag through Oct. 15, children are admitted for free.
For those who may benefit from a smaller crowd with on-site parking at Naumkeag, we provide a limited number of Early Hour tickets Wednesdays–Sundays from 4-5 p.m. plus 12-2 p.m. and 2-4 p.m. on select weekends. At Long Hill, those who may benefit from a quieter sensory-sensitive experience or those with limited mobility who may need an alternative path to accommodate accessibility restrictions, a limited number of tickets will be available for 4-5 p.m. on Fridays, Oct. 9 and 23.
Discounted admission rates are available to EBT/Card to Culture cardholders on select nights. Please reach out to Tickets@TheTrustees.org for details and booking assistance.
