Don’t miss the area’s biggest Halloween event! The wildly popular Great Jack O’Lantern Blaze returns in 2023, including Halloween night! It features over 7,000 hand-carved, illuminated pumpkins set against the mysterious backdrop of Van Cortlandt Manor’s 18th-century buildings and riverside landscape. New for 2023, see the twirling pumpkin Ferris wheel and take in the gourd-eous circus sideshow!

Complete with synchronized lighting and an original soundtrack, this one-of-a-kind event is not to be missed!
