Pumpkin Walk Returns to Castle in the Clouds in 2025

Moultonborough, NH – Castle in the Clouds is happy to partner with the Moultonborough Recreation Department and Lakes Region Conservation Trust once again for the annual Pumpkin Walk. This beloved Halloween tradition is a family-friendly, Halloween-themed, stroll through the woods on Friday, October 17 from 6pm to 7:30pm.

The area near Shannon Pond will be well-lit with jack-o’-lanterns, and feature some not-so-scary Halloween surprises along the way. Costumes are encouraged with the reminder that attendees wear weather-appropriate clothing underneath their Halloween costumes along with the appropriate footwear for this fun adventure. Participants are also encouraged to bring a flashlight or headlamp as it will be getting dark toward the end of the event.

There will also be goodies for guests after the walk, compliments of Castle in the Clouds, the Moultonborough Recreation Department, and the Lakes Region Conservation Trust.

Registration is encouraged but not required. Knowing how many people will be attending allows us to better prepare for the evening. Registration can be found at: castleintheclouds.org/event/pumpkin-walk-2025/ . The rain date for this event is Saturday, October 18 – check the Castle website and Facebook page for updates.
