The region’s best Halloween experience is back as a nightly walk-through at Iroquois Park from October 3-31, featuring more than 5,000 carved pumpkins lining a secluded wooded area. There are pumpkins everywhere you look, you and your family will have a hard time choosing your favorites! 

Entering through the Iroquois Amphitheatre, you’ll wander the wide, accessible walking paths through the historic woods, surrounded by thousands of intricately-carved pumpkins, all set among a “spooky-not-scary” backdrop of decorations and light.
