Magic of the Jack O’Lanterns will light up Hudson Gardens starting September 18

Magic of the Jack O’Lanterns is returning to Hudson Gardens September 18 through November 1 with thousands of glowing pumpkins and way more than your average jack-o’-lantern. We’re talking dinosaurs, dragons, a pirate ship, a nautical scene and huge pumpkin displays that feel totally over the top in the best way. 

New this year is Enchanted Hollow, a one-third-mile trail filled with glowing landscapes and light displays. There will also be a synchronized pumpkin light show set to music about every 30 minutes. 

The event is family-friendly, and guests can walk the trail at their own pace. Plus, there will be s’mores stations, food and drinks along the way. 

Basically, it’s pumpkins, lights, Halloween magic and snacks. Perfection!
