Few Westchester traditions are as ubiquitous as The Great Jack O’Lantern Blaze in Croton every fall. Now in it’s fourteenth year, the festive light show put on by Historic Hudson Valley keeps growing and growing. More than seven-thousand pumpkins were used this year, continuously replenishing throughout the event as older gourds get “retired” in an ecologically friendly manner.

Take a walk with us as we tour some of the sights, from the great Pumpkin Zee Bridge and Statue of Liberty, to Jack’s Castle and the horseman’s haunted cemetery!
