September 10, 2025

Magic of the Jack O’ Lanterns celebrates its fifth year bringing the community together at Hudson Gardens to stroll through more than 7,000 unique, hand-carved pumpkins. From Friday, September 19 through Sunday, November 2, 2025, guests of all ages will be able to enjoy an expanded two-hour glowing journey produced by Thirteenth Floor Entertainment Group that will bring them face-to-face with entertaining pumpkin scenes of favorite characters, a nautical seascape, a pirate ship, dinosaurs, dragons, and much more, all set beneath the autumn night sky.

This year’s event features a redesigned trail known as the Enchanted Hollow Trail, filled with enchanting lighting and spooky witches, newly
carved pumpkin designs, and a Halloween-themed inflatable maze add-on. Every 30 minutes, pumpkins across the gardens display a beautiful synchronized light show set to music.

"Magic of the Jack O'Lanterns' fifth season is introducing even more whimsy and wonderment with the Enchanted Hollow Trail. This milestone year will not only feature a variety of never-before-seen spectacular displays, but it significantly extends the length of the event. This is in addition to the beloved Jack O'Lanterns Trail that has delighted guests since our opening,” said Marissa Kopp, Magic of the Jack O’ Lanterns General Manager.
