A Halloween lights festival is returning to Colorado. Magic of the Jack O’Lanterns features a glowing trail of more than 7,000 pumpkins, as well as light show displays such as a nautical sea-scape, pirate ship, dinosaurs and dragons. Held at Hudson Gardens, the spooky festival kicks off the Halloween season Friday, Sept. 19, and runs through Sunday, Nov. 2.

Some of the one-of-a-kind pumpkins feature artworks, characters, celebrities, athletic stars, and unique designs. Past favorites include "Harry Potter" pumpkins as well as classic art pumpkins featuring Mona Lisa, Starry Night, American Gothic, and The Scream. Presented by Denver-based Thirteenth Floor Entertainment Group, new attractions in 2025 include a dance party area and inflatable maze, as well as add-ons such as a DIY s’mores package and 3D glasses, organizers said.
