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! ​
