Littleton’s biggest after-dark fall attraction is back at Hudson Gardens on select nights through Nov. 1. Magic of the Jack O’Lanterns lines a half-mile dirt trail with thousands of hand-carved pumpkins, adds a synchronized light show and live entertainment, and sells food along the way.
The venue calendar lists Sept. 25-27, Oct. 1-2 and Oct. 9 among the 2026 dates, with 7 p.m. starts in late September and 6:30 p.m. starts in October. Entry is timed, and the check-in window is printed on your ticket. It runs rain or shine with no refunds or reschedules, so dress for the forecast.
Know before you go
- Ticketed, timed entry; buy through the organizer’s Denver page. Prices vary by night.
- Free parking on site, with overflow across Santa Fe Drive at Arapahoe Community College.
- The trail is unpaved; wear walking shoes and bring layers.
