Sleepy Hollow Country is always one of the top spots for fall family fun and Halloween magic, and this year brings something special. The Great Jack O’Lantern Blaze is back with a completely reimagined experience that’s bigger, brighter, and more interactive than ever.
Each year, The Great Jack O’Lantern Blaze transforms Van Cortlandt Manor in Croton-on-Hudson into a glowing, pumpkin-filled wonderland. This year’s experience features illuminated trails, immersive mysteries, puppet shows, and fire performers.
Visitors will see thousands of hand-carved jack-o’-lanterns, each professionally lit and choreographed to music, winding through the scenic grounds. New for 2025 are several eye-catching displays, including iconic New York State landmarks, classic video game characters, and a Wizard of Oz-themed hillside that adds a touch of nostalgia to the trail.
New in 2025 is The Headless Horseman’s Hideaway, which offers themed treats, a special visit from the Horseman himself, and plenty of places to take photos. It’s a great option for kids who enjoy a spooky atmosphere without anything too scary.
