 As we begin to wrap up our 2016 Halloween event coverage it's always nice to take a look at a fun family event that those of you with smaller kids can check out over Halloween weekend. Today's update is just that as we have a great look at Rise of the Jack O Lanterns in New York. Written by Renée Girard (Click on any of the pictures below to see a larger version) Having some Halloween fun in NY today for Rise of the Jack O'Lanterns at Old Westbury Gardens
Tonight we'll see over 5,000 hand carved jack o'lanterns. In the pre-show area is just a sample of some of the pumpkins.
  While waiting for your time slot to be called, you can watch some of the artists at work carving pumpkins.
 Let's go check out some pumpkins! 
Some sections along the trail have different themes. Here's Charlie Brown and the Peanuts gang. 
The detail in the pumpkins is incredible!
Some of your favorite horror movie characters are carved into pumpkins too. 
Disney's newest animated film, Moana, on a pumpkin.   The stars of the Disney Pixar movie Finding Dory. 
Disney appeared quite a bit along the trail, including an impressive Frozen display. 
It looks like someone set up a proposal earlier. What a great way to ask!  I don't know how they did it, but there are hundreds of jack o'lanterns in a tree!   No surprise that our President and the nominees were made into jack o'lanterns.    As a NY baseball fan, I enjoyed seeing both the Mets and Yankees (and Piazza and Jeter) on the trail. Editors Note: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! ;)
The dinosaur jack o'lanterns were one of my favorites to see tonight!   A set of pumpkins carved to remember those we lost this year. 
 The final scene of jack o'lanterns were all from the Star Wars series. 
More Star Wars pumpkins! The detail continues to amaze me. I can't imagine how long one of these takes to complete!  
Had a fantastic night at Rise of the Jack O'lanterns. A truly unique Halloween event that can be enjoyed by all ages!
