LITTLETON, Colo. — Littleton’s Hudson Gardens and Events Center hosts its fourth annual The magic of Jack o’ Lanternsand the event will only be in town until this weekend.

If you want to do one last spooky activity with friends and family before accepting that November has finally arrived, then this may be your last chance to do so.

“It’s something unique and something I’m so proud to be a part of,” said Chase Kliment, general manager for Magic of the Jack o’ Lanterns. “I can truly say that that uniqueness is something you can’t find anywhere else.”

There are over 7,000 pumpkins in the gardens. Normal pumpkins don’t last very long outside once they’ve been carved, so the pumpkins are plastic, but each one was still carved by hand.

There are individual lanterns, pumpkins stacked together on planks to make large pictures, and LED lights can be timed to music to create interesting scenes as you walk around the garden pond.

Many Halloween-themed events are for older children and adults, but this one is suitable for families. People of all ages will recognize pop culture references in many of the pumpkins, from Beetlejuice to Roblox.

“As a parent and as a human being, you love to see the kids light up and enjoy their time here,” Kliment said. “That part is a big part of why I’m here to do this.”

The last day for Magic of the Jack o’ Lanterns is Sunday, November 2. For more information about the event or to buy tickets online, check out their website here.
