From October 16–19 and 24–26, 2025, Hendrie Park will glow with hundreds of hand-carved jack-o-lanterns guiding you through a magical nighttime walk.
This fall, Royal Botanical Gardens’ most enchanting tradition returns—The Great Pumpkin Trail! From October 16–19 and 24–26, 2025, Hendrie Park will glow with the flicker of hundreds of hand-carved jack-o-lanterns guiding you through a magical nighttime walk.
New this year, prepare to be amazed by 10,000 real pumpkins transformed into stunning artistic displays and installations across the gardens. Along the way, enjoy seasonal treats, live entertainment, and family-friendly pumpkin-themed activities that capture the best of autumn.
The trail is time-ticketed starting at 5:30 p.m., so plan ahead and bring your sense of wonder (plus a flashlight and sturdy shoes for safety!). While a ¼ km loop is fully wheelchair accessible and stroller-friendly, the full trail includes uneven terrain and is best suited for adventurous walkers.
📍 Location: Hendrie Park, 680 Plains Rd. W., Burlington, ON
Don’t miss your chance to experience one of the region’s most magical fall events—where pumpkins, artistry, and autumn spirit come together in an unforgettable glow.
