The Great Jack O’Lantern Blaze: What Our Visitors Say

There’s no better place to experience the magic of an autumn night than at the Great Jack O’Lantern Blaze. In the Hudson Valley, Van Cortlandt Manor sits along the Croton River and provides the perfect 18th-century backdrop for this annual fall spectacle, while our Blaze: Long Island location is set on the grounds of Old Bethpage Village Restoration, a gorgeous 19-century village. At both locations, there are more than 7,000 illuminated jack o’lanterns lighting up the night in elaborate displays! Visitors are blown away by the work and artistry of each hand-carved pumpkin and every year there’s an additional wonder to inspire. Here’s what some of our recent visitors had to say:
