This is a fantastic event that you must experience and will certainly get you in the Autumn spirit. The Great Jack O’Lantern Blaze has returned to historic Van Cortlandt Manor in Croton On Hudson. This is one of the country’s most extensive displays of lit Jack O’Lanterns.
The grounds of Van Cortlandt Manor are transformed into a Halloween fantasy landscape with over 7000 lit and carved Jack O’Lanterns. Each one is hand carved It is an extraordinary sight.
Upon entering under the lit arch you follow along the Pumpkin Promenade, and over the “Pumpkin Zee” Bridge, a lit marvel of craftsmanship. Under the bridge is a sea of underwater creatures all carved into pumpkins. Everywhere you look there is some new detail to admire. You pass an amazing sea serpent and enter the amazing “Pumpkin Planetarium” with its constantly changing light show.
Your path wanders through such great creations as the circus train, Headless Horsemen display, witches and their cauldron, spiders, skeletons and so much more. The tour ends back near the Manor House itself which has been transformed into a dramatic backdrop for a constantly changing light show. This is really amazing and you must experience this event.
