LOUISVILLE, Ky. — It's officially fall, which means it's time to party with some pumpkins!
Every October participants walk along a winding path through majestic woods. Guests are treated to an organic art gallery of more than 5,000 artistically carved pumpkins in themed settings.
Louisville's most 'lit' Halloween event starts at dusk on Oct. 4 and runs through Oct. 31 at Iroquois Park.
The Jack O'Lantern Spectacular is celebrating 10 years in the Commonwealth. The first Spectacular was in 2013.
This family-friendly event has become an annual tradition for thousands, who come back each year to experience a variety of themed vignettes, set to music.
