The Great Jack O’Lantern Blaze: Hudson Valley

The Great Jack O'Lantern Blaze - Review - New York - The Infatuation

"Croton-on-Hudson, NY; 64 minutes from Midtown If you can’t decide whether walking through thousands of hand-carved jack-o'-lanterns on a chilly October night sounds like peak fun or a tourist trap, let us break it down for you: it’s both. Yes, the Great Jack O’Lantern Blaze can get crowded, but that’s because it’s a really good time. They have locations in Long Island and the Hudson Valley (which we prefer for its organically spooky, Sleepy Hollow-adjacent atmosphere), and since the event is so popular, you can go any night of the week. If you can, find a way to get there on a weeknight, when you’re almost guaranteed to have a more pleasant time. Tickets for the Hudson Valley Blaze start at $29 per adult (except for select weeknights after 8pm, when you can snag them for $20) and this event almost always sells out, so you should buy them online as soon as possible. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation
