The Jack O’Lantern Spectacular has been thrilling audiences at Louisville, Kentucky’s Iroquois Park for over a decade with its nearly mile-long tour of artfully carved pumpkins.
The “organic art show,” produced by Oxford, Massachusetts’ Passion for Pumpkins, displays more than 5,000 illuminated pumpkins crafted by local artists paired with themed vignettes, music and special events throughout October.
Jack O’Lantern Spectacular: October 2 – November 2, 2025 (trail opens at dusk)
