About
Celebrate Halloween in Saratoga Springs at Night of the Jack-o-Lanterns at Artisanal Brew Works on Saturday, October 24, 2026. Bring a pumpkin from home or purchase one at ABW, carve or paint your creation, then help transform the wooded Spooky Trail into a glowing gallery of jack-o-lanterns.
This family-friendly event includes afternoon pumpkin decorating, an illuminated evening trail, and awards for creative and spooky designs in youth, teen, and adult categories.
Pumpkin carving and painting: 2–5:30 PM. Bring a pumpkin you already have, one you decorated at home, or purchase one at Artisanal Brew Works. A limited supply of kid-friendly carving supplies will be available for guests decorating pumpkins at the event.
From 5:30–6 PM, participants will place their creations along the wooded Spooky Trail. The illuminated trail will be open from 6–7:30 PM. Battery-operated lights only; candles and open flames are not allowed on the trail.
Judging and awards will take place at 7:30 PM. Prizes will be awarded for Most Creative and Most Spooky designs in three age groups:
- Youth: up to age 10
- Teen: ages 11–18
- Adult: ages 19+
Participants are welcome to take their pumpkins home after the awards.
Food from Nature’s Edge Bistro will be available, along with Artisanal Brew Works craft beer, seasonal cocktails, wine, mocktails, and other non-alcoholic drinks. Enjoy the fall atmosphere in the taproom and, weather permitting, on the Nature’s Edge Terrace.
