This October Visit Rise of the Jack O’Lantern on Long Island


As Patchogue residents are gearing up for October, Halloween and all the fun fall events that come with it, one Long Island event is a stand out and is sure to excite our residents here at New Village of Patchogue. RISE of the Jack O’Lanterns will be returning for its annual October show and this time Old Westbury is the chosen location for the show's New York event.  RISE of the Jack O’Lanterns features thousands of pumpkins set up throughout a trail which will take guests about 45-60 minutes to walk through. As visitors make their way through the show, they will see over the top stunning arrangements of lighted pumpkins.

Showing at Old Westbury Garden this spectacular performance attracts thousands of local Long Island residents and people from several surrounding New York areas. Only a half hour away from New Village, RISE of the Jack O’Lanterns is a must see fall show you will want to be a part of!

The display is a themed pumpkin light show with its main focus being on Halloween and features many sub themes that branch out and go way beyond the typical Halloween trends of witches, ghosts and vampires. In the past there have been sub themes of Disney characters, New York landmarks, world and pop culture figures, New York artistry, skeletons, cars, animals and many more! As visitors walk through the site they will hear an originally composed soundtrack made special for RISE of the Jack O’Lanterns.

To put on this illuminating show it takes over 5,000 individual pumpkins and preparations that start immediately following the ending of the previous year’s show. Around 30 artists from the local area are recruited to carve these masterpiece pumpkins.

This fall extravaganza will run all through the month of October. For the first two weeks The Rise is open from Friday-Sunday with sessions running from 6:30-9:30 pm, and the reminder of the month tickets are available Thursday-Sunday. You can purchase tickets and view the list of available dates and times here. More information about the event can also be found by visiting their Facebook page or the historic Hudson Valley website.

  1. The executive chef here was a genuinely nice person and never made us feel like we were just "business" for him. He was extremely competent and organized. Because of the natural beauty of the best sports bar nyc, we were able to get away with very minimal decorations.
