Salem’s only Jack-O’-Lantern festival is returning for its sixth season—and in 2026, Hollowed Harvest: Wicked Labyrinth is bringing its glowing pumpkin spectacle to a brand-new home at 300 Derby Street in downtown Salem.
At the heart of Hollowed Harvest is the Wicked Labyrinth, a twisting walk-through experience filled with hundreds of intricately carved Jack-O’-Lanterns, colorful lighting, animated spirits, music, and unexpected scenes around every turn. Designed as an all-ages Halloween experience, it offers families, couples, and visitors of all ages a chance to enjoy the magic of Halloween in Salem without the scares of a traditional haunted attraction.
This year, real pumpkin artistry takes center stage.
Hollowed Harvest is working with talented local and New England artists to create an evolving collection of hand-carved, organic Jack-O’-Lanterns throughout the season. These aren’t simply traditional triangle-eyed pumpkins: visitors can expect elaborate designs and remarkably detailed works of art carved directly into real pumpkins. Fresh pieces will appear throughout the fall, giving even returning guests something new to discover.
The new 300 Derby Street location also puts Hollowed Harvest right in the middle of a day or night exploring Salem. Visitors can experience the Wicked Labyrinth and then continue on foot to the shops, restaurants, historic sites, waterfront attractions, and Halloween happenings that make downtown Salem one of New England’s most popular fall destinations.
Whether you’ve made Hollowed Harvest part of your Salem tradition or you’re visiting for the first time, 2026 brings an entirely new reason to step inside the Wicked Labyrinth: a new downtown location, new Jack-O’-Lantern creations, and a renewed focus on the artists who transform real pumpkins into glowing works of art.
Hollowed Harvest: Wicked Labyrinth is located at 300 Derby Street, Salem, Massachusetts.
