The Incredible Naumkeag Pumpkin Show 2023 - Parking Zone A
*October 7th we will be closed due to predicted heavy rains*
In order to provide access to more guests, we have added additional
parking downtown! For our "Early Hour" time slot for those who
require a more sensory-friendly and less crowded environment, parking will
remain on site.
If you can't find tickets in your preferred parking zone on the date and time
you would like to attend, please look for tickets in the other parking
zones. Each parking zone will have its own shuttle pickup and a Naumkeag
staff member to check you in.
We look forward to seeing you at the Incredible Naumkeag
Pumpkin Show!
Parking Zone A
Town Hall and Downtown Stockbridge
50 Main Street, Elm Street and Main Street
Parking Zone B
The Playhouse Theater

The Incredible Naumkeag
Pumpkin Show is BACK! This year with more pumpkins, more fun, and an expanded
schedule! Explore our famous gardens as we transform Naumkeag into a
celebration of autumn with over 1,500 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.
*Please Note* Due to the age of the site and its steep and
uneven terrain, Naumkeag is not ADA compliant and is not wheelchair- or
stroller-accessible and may be difficult to access for guests with limited
mobility. Please reach out to tickets@thetrustees.org with any questions about accessibility.
Friday,
October 6 is reserved for Trustees Members only. Advanced tickets are
required. To register for a Trustees Membership, please visit thetrustees.org/membership.
