Jack’s Pumpkin Glow, a family-friendly Halloween event, is creating an enormous display of over 1,000 expertly carved pumpkins at Lake Fairfax Park.
“Guests can expect to be transported into a pumpkin wonderland that features over 5,000 hand-carved jack o’ lanterns. Jack’s Pumpkin Glow brings the Halloween spirit to life that everyone can enjoy,” said Vice President of The Glow Shannon Donnelly,in an email.
“Guests will see larger than life pumpkin sculptures of dinosaurs, motorcycles, and flowers, along with other beautiful pieces. They can also expect to see carvings of their favorite characters from princesses to superheroes to classic Halloween creatures,” Donnely said.
They carve over 1,000 pumpkins weekly so there are always fresh pumpkins.
- Pumpkin carvers continue to carve out new designs throughout the month of October.
- There are several master carvers who carve pumpkins live during the event.
“We have the same designs our patrons can see each week, we have a lot of new scenes this year for Lake Fairfax, like our giant pumpkin tower, our 15-foot tall pumpkin lighthouse, and some of the most famous paintings, like the Mona Lisa, pumpkinized,” said Donnelly.
“We have several live carvers, Angelito Baban has won national carving competitions in both ice and pumpkins. Rachel O’Neil is one of our new artists, who specializes in painting and sculpting. So, they both bring different techniques to our creations,” said Donnelly.
Organizers suggest that guests wear appropriate attire for the weather, as the event takes place outdoors.
- The event opens for the weekend starting Thursday, October 3rd and will run every weekend in October.
- Tickets range between $17 and $28 per person.
- Lake Fairfax Park is located at 1400 Lake Fairfax Drive in Reston.
