About The Incredible Naumkeag Pumpkin Show
The Incredible Naumkeag Pumpkin Show is BACK! Explore our famous gardens as we transform Naumkeag into a celebration of autumn with over a thousand jack-o’-lanterns, hundreds of mums, pumpkins and countless gourds – most of which were grown right here at Naumkeag. Hot cider and fall treats will be available for sale on-site.
Advanced purchase of timed tickets is required (one ticket per person). Tickets will not be sold on site.
Parking for this event is off-site, with shuttle buses provided to bring you to the property. We also offer Early Hour time slots, for those who require a more sensory-friendly and less crowded environment, with on-site parking.
Due to its steep and uneven terrain, Naumkeag is not wheelchair or stroller-accessible and may be difficult to access for guests with limited mobility. Please reach out to accessibility@thetrustees.org with any questions about accessibility.
