Nights of the Jack Halloween Experience at King Gillette Ranch in Calabasas September 25 to November 1, 2026

Nights of the Jack is back at King Gillette Ranch in Calabasas from September 25 to November 1, 2026.

Local residents will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in a Halloween wonderland, filled with thousands of hand-carved Jack O’Lanterns at this ranch, which is steeped in history. Legend has it that in 1824, at the top of the Calabasas grade on the original El Camino Real, a rancher from Oxnard spilled a wagonload of pumpkins while en route to Los Angeles. Sometime later, hundreds of pumpkin seeds sprouted alongside the road. As a result of the surprising event, the area was dubbed Las Calabasas—"the place where the pumpkins fell."

The trail is about 2/3rds of a mile and is self-guided. Guests typically spend 1 to 1 1/2 hours on the grounds.

Tickets are on sale now at nightsofthejack.com.

King Gillette Ranch is located at 26800 Mulholland Hwy, Calabasas.
