Events Description
The Great Pumpkin Trail returns to RBG!
Follow the candlelit glow of hundreds of jack-o-lanterns deep within the recesses of the Hendrie Valley. Savor the flavors of the season with a selection of sweet and savory delights while enjoying live entertainment and pumpkin themed activities.
Please Note:
Only a ¼ km section of the trail, a loop within the garden, is fully wheelchair accessible and stroller-friendly, starting and ending at the same point. The rest of the trail features uneven ground, rough terrain, and hilly areas. Strollers and wagons are not recommended on the trail. The trail is dark in places, lit only by jack-o-lanterns. For your safety we recommend bringing a flashlight and wearing sturdy footwear.
Event Format and Timed-ticketing
Guests can roam throughout Hendrie Park at their leisure while interacting with roaming entertainers, participating in pumpkin themed activities and enjoying the autumn air by the campfires. The Hendrie Park Valley trail portion will be a one-way route with volunteers posted to help direct guests along the way.
Strollers and wagons are not recommended on the trail. Since the trail ends in a different part of the garden, any strollers or wagons will need to be picked up from the starting area.
