Illuminated Works of Art

Every year, artists carve the most intricate and detailed jack-o-lanterns to illuminate the trail of Louisville, Kentucky's Iroquois Park. Every season, the finished works of art are put on display for Halloween lovers to enjoy! Now, we aren't talking about a few dozen jack-o-lanterns either. We are talking thousands of glowing gourds lighting the way.

The Jack O' Lantern Spectacular has roots dating back to 1988 in Oxford, Massachusetts. Fast forward to today, and the Louisville Jack O' Lantern Spectacular is celebrating its eleventh year of captivating audiences through October 31, 2023.
