Nights of The Jack, the family-friendly Halloween experience at King Gillette Ranch, is back this year with thousands of lights, lanterns, and of course, pumpkins.
On opening day, visitors were asked to wait until the sun fully set to be able to enjoy Jack’s Trail. The two-thirds-of-a-mile trail aligned with carved and lit-up pumpkins ready to be photographed. The Santa Monica Mountains at dusk provides attendees with the ultimate immersive Halloween experience.
“Nights of the Jack is Halloween fun for everyone. Spooky but never scary, kids will love our enchanted renditions of their favorite characters in pumpkin-form,” the website says. “After you’ve wandered the grounds, enjoy a sumptuous picnic under the harvest moon. We’re light on the tricks and heavy on the treats. Indulge in our otherworldly offerings from an array of LA’s best food trucks.”
With over 30 interactive installations, the trail takes about an hour to walk through and admire the individually crafted pumpkins.
Attendees were also able to get their face painted, see a fortune teller, and see pumpkin master carver Roberto Velasco hand carve pumpkins on opening day.
