About the event
The Old Presque Isle Lighthouse Pumpkin Stroll began as a family passion project and has grown into one of Northern Michigan's most beloved Halloween traditions. Every year, the historic lighthouse grounds are transformed into a breathtaking open-air gallery of carved pumpkins, immersive light displays, theatrical performers, and magical atmosphere.
The quarter-mile trail winds through the iconic property, giving visitors the chance to experience hundreds of individually hand-carved jack-o-lanterns — from intricate portraits and movie-inspired masterpieces to whimsical and classic designs. No two pumpkins are alike, and no two years are the same.
What to Expect
Hundreds of hand-carved jack-o-lanterns lining the entire trail
