A Wild 7,000 Halloween Pumpkin Display!
Yes, that’s not a typo: these are all pumpkins! And this is just one of the dozens of displays at the famous “Blaze” hand-carved Pumpkin display outside of New York City!
The Blaze is an autumn display featuring thousands of hand-carved, illuminated pumpkins arranged in intricate and artistic displays at Van Cortlandt Manor in Croton-on-Hudson, New York.
It’s really an incredible display: you walk through well lit paths as hand-carved Pumpkins show off all around you…that is, in fact, a cow that is built out of hand-carved and lit pumpkins!
There is something incredible to see everywhere you turn!
The Great Jack O’Lantern Blaze features over 7,000 hand-carved, illuminated pumpkins!
Everywhere you turn you see intricate, hand-carved magic!
The displays feature hand-carved homages to some of New York’s most iconic locations like The Catskills, and some are just having fun – but with 7,000 pumpkins on display, there is magic everywhere you turn:
Yes, that’s the Wicked Witch on her broom done “pumpkin style” and the good Witch all in red as well!
This wild “Blaze” display is located just an hour north of New York City, in the town of Croton-on-Hudson…and no, this isn’t one of the residents:
There are merry go rounds, animals, and so much more, even Lady Liberty:
That’s right, it’s the Statue of Liberty made out of 114 pumpkins!
There is pumpkin magic everywhere you look – check more of this out!
You’ll see thousands of intricately carved Pumpkins, from the grand “pumpkin headed horseman” like this :
To the humorous like this!
And you can not only walk past them, but through them as well! Check this out!
This was a blast, and it is open for one more day if you are so inclined!
But even in the city, New Yorkers know how to dress up for Halloween!
Look at this brownstone building dressed up for the season:
I mean, a lot of time and effort went into these displays, which line 69th street on the upper west side between Columbus Avenue and Broadway.
Here’s another brownstone on the same street!
I have been sharing all of these throughtout the month, and you can see more wild Halloween creativity here:
If you are in New York tonight, why not join this aquatic pumpkin party in the city?
See this cool watery Central Park celebration of Halloween here!
And if you want to shock your “trick or treaters” why not serve these?
I’ve got some of the best, and most disgusting Halloween food here!
