About Halloween on the Hill 2026
This October, the gardens at Long Hill come alive with Halloween magic! Join us for Halloween on the Hill, an enchanting outdoor experience filled with glowing jack-o’-lanterns, creative seasonal displays, and family-friendly frights.
Wander our woodland trail lined with over 2,000 hand-carved themed jack-o-lantern pumpkins, larger-than-life Halloween decorations, and immersive scenes that celebrate the spooky—and the silly—sides of the season. Perfect for all ages, this self-guided walk is designed to dazzle, not scare.
A selection of seasonal treats, snacks, and beverages will be available for purchase on site. Visit our Concession Tent halfway through the trail for hot/cold apple cider, apple cider donuts, boxed water, and other festive sweets. Mulled wine, sweater weather sangria, and wine will be available at the start of the trail with several drink options available for purchase.
