Every fall, the glow of thousands of hand-carved pumpkins draws visitors from around New England to Stockbridge, where the annual Naumkeag Pumpkin Show transforms the historic Naumkeag estate into a luminous, family-friendly spectacle. For many, it’s become a must-see Berkshires tradition packed with artistic displays, winding garden paths, and atmospheric autumn charm.
What Makes the Naumkeag Pumpkin Show Special?
Running Wednesdays through Sundays from October 1 to 31, 2026, the Pumpkin Show covers Naumkeag’s gardens at 5 Prospect Hill Road with creative pumpkin installations and glowing lanterns. Visitors can expect themed scenes (often with a playful or local twist), food and drink vendors, and plenty of photo opportunities against the mansion’s stately backdrop. Evenings are the main attraction, with hours from 5 to 9 pm and tickets sold in advance for specific time slots, there are no same-day sales at the gate.
Parking and Getting There
Parking for the Pumpkin Show operates on a designated lot system, with B-Level (Zone B) being The Playhouse Theater area in Stockbridge. Guests are shuttled to the main gate, direct drop-offs aren’t permitted unless using designated accessible parking. Your timed ticket will include detailed instructions on where to park and how to board a shuttle.
