The Great Jack O’Lantern Blaze in Croton-On-Hudson, NY
This isn’t a show thrown together by your insomniac basement-dwelling neighbor. The Great Jack O’Lantern Blaze is a serious fall event held in the historic Hudson Valley, where pumpkin carving is done by bona fide artisans.
Held in the Museum of Pumpkin Art at 525 S Riverside Ave., the show features more than 7,000 illuminated Jack-o’-lanterns. The show runs on select dates through November. There is an admission charge; tickets can be purchased in advance online.
