LITTLETON, Colo. — A Halloween lights festival is returning to Hudson Gardens in Littleton for a fourth year.
Magic of the Jack O’Lanterns features a glowing trail of more than 7,000 pumpkins as well as light show displays such as a nautical sea-scape, pirate ship, dinosaurs, dragons and more.
Presented by Denver-based Thirteenth Floor Entertainment Group, the festival kicks off the Halloween season on Friday, Sept. 20, running select nights through Saturday, Nov. 2.
Magic of the Jack O’Lanterns attendees will see pumpkins far more intricate than just classic jack o' lanterns. Some of the one-of-a-kind pumpkins feature artworks, characters, celebrities, athletic stars, and unique designs. Past favorites include "Harry Potter" pumpkins as well as classic art pumpkins featuring Mona Lisa, Starry Night, American Gothic, and The Scream.
New attractions in 2024 include a light show programmed to music throughout the entire event every 30 minutes. An array of new pumpkin scenes will also be featured, organizers said.
"We are thrilled to introduce some exciting new elements to Magic of the Jack O’Lanterns this year and do something that’s never been done before at our event," said Greg Salyers, vice president of operations for Thirteenth Floor.
Magic of the Jack O’Lanterns will also have s’mores stations as well as local food trucks.
Tickets start at $14.99 for kids and $19.99 for adults on select nights. Children 2 and under will not require a ticket to enter. Tickets can be purchased at magicofthejackolanterns.com.
A low-sensory night for families will be held Sunday, Sept. 29.
