Jack O’Lantern World
Jack O’Lantern World, self-described as an incredible walk through thousands of hand-carved pumpkins, is coming to Millennium Park in West Michigan for fall 2022.
Open Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings in October, Jack O’Lantern World promises you a 3/4-mile long walk on a trail that travels through 17 immersive worlds of hand-carved Jack O’ Lanterns.
The carved pumpkins, designed by 50+ artisans, are the centerpiece of this one-of-a-kind, whimsical, celebration of art, nature & fall.
You should know: The event runs for a whole month. To make the exhibit last and stand up to the weather, some of the jack o’lanterns are crafted from faux pumpkins.
