What is the parking situation at Naumkeag in Stockbridge? On-site parking and drop-offs at Naumkeag’s Main Gate are NOT allowed. Guests must park in the offsite parking zone selected when purchasing tickets. Each zone will have a staff member to check you in and its own shuttle pickup every 5–10 minutes from 4:30–7:30PM. The last return shuttle to downtown will depart Naumkeag at 8:45PM when the property closes. Look for tickets in the other zones if your selected date/time is sold out in your preferred area.
Are the sites wheelchair or stroller accessible? Due to terrain conditions and age of the properties, many routes are not wheelchair or stroller accessible and may be difficult to navigate for guests with limited mobility. Event pathways include sets of stairs, sections with a running slope greater than 5 degrees, uneven surfaces, and uncompacted surface material. Though mostly flat, the path at Stevens-Coolidge House & Gardens does include stairs and steps making it not fully accessible. Please reach out to winterlights@thetrustees.org with any accessibility questions.
Can I change my date or time? We cannot accommodate date or time changes. Tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable across dates.
What happens if I show up early or late for my entry time? Please check in within 15 minutes of your designated time slot. Early/Late arrivals may need to wait to accommodate those with correct timed tickets.
What is the weather policy? Winterlights will operate rain or shine. However, heavy snow or unsafe conditions will cancel that day’s event. If we must cancel due to weather, guests will be notified by email and will receive further information regarding a refund or rebook (when applicable).
Are dogs allowed at Winterlights? No, dogs are not allowed.
Will restrooms be available? Yes, restrooms will be available for guests.
What should I wear? The event will take place outdoors. Please be prepared to walk through unpaved pathways on uneven terrain through the woods and gardens. Trails may be muddy or icy at times, sturdy boots are recommended. Dress appropriately for the weather that day.
Can we tailgate? To ensure the safety of all our visitors, tailgating is strictly prohibited.
Will food & drink be available for purchase? Yes, a small selection of concessions will be sold on-site at all three properties.
Are the historic homes open during Winterlights? Naumkeag’s first floor will be open to visitors, and the first floor of Eleanor Cabot Bradley Estate and Stevens-Coolidge House & Gardens are integrated into the events’ pathway (but not guided tours).
