The Great Jack O’Lantern Blaze 2024 | Hudson Valley

See why over TWO MILLION visitors have made this the top-rated Halloween attraction for 20 years!

Carving a jack-o'-lantern may be a time-honored American tradition for many but nobody does pumpkin carving quite like Great Jack O’Lantern Blaze. Every fall pumpkins aplenty decorate two locations of this festive family-friendly attraction. This year promises thousands of intricately carved jack-o'-lanterns in mesmerizing displays plus dazzling new experiences in honor of the event's founding 20 years ago. 

This is one of the most stunning visual Halloween experiences that comes each year and it’s because of the 7000+ uniquely carved pumpkins forming all sorts of art installations. From their gorgeous Pumpkin Bridge to the jaw-dropping Pumpkin Planetarium there are tons of illuminated art pieces that are surreal to see in person (including NYC staples like the Statue of Liberty and a subway station entrance).

The experience is celebrating its 20th year and it’s running on select days from September 13 – November 17.
