Halloween Pumpkin Prep at Long Hill

Wednesday, Aug. 19
9:30 a.m. – 12 p.m.
Long Hill
Beverly, MA

Join us for a fun-filled morning at Long Hill as we prepare for one of our most beloved autumn traditions, Halloween on the Hill, now in its sixth year!

Each fall, thousands of hand-carved, reusable foam pumpkins transform the property into a spectacular spooky display. Founders Circle members and their families are invited to be part of the magic by helping carve pumpkins that will become part of this one-of-a-kind installation. Then come back in October to see your creations glowing alongside thousands of others throughout the display.

Enjoy light breakfast refreshments, pumpkin carving, family-friendly crafts, and the chance to explore Long Hill, including its beautiful Discovery Garden. Craft activities are available for all ages. We recommend pumpkin carving for children ages 10 and older.

Come make memories, enjoy the beautiful grounds of Long Hill, and help bring this cherished fall tradition to life! 🎃

Registration required, please email founderscircle@thetrustees.org.
