Hudson Gardens turns its botanic grounds into a nighttime jack-o'-lantern trail for four confirmed evenings in late September and early October, the kind of after-dark garden walk that doesn't happen most of the year in the south metro.
The run is set for Sept 25 (7-10 PM), Sept 26 (7-10:30 PM), Sept 27 (7-9:30 PM), and Oct 1 (6:30-9 PM), 2026, according to the venue's own calendar. Hudson Gardens does not post ticket prices on that calendar; the event links out to a separate site, magicofthejackolanterns.com/denver, for cost and tickets.
