Night of 1,000 Jack-O-Lanterns
Wed, Oct 08 – Sun, Oct 26, 2025
1000 Lake Cook Rd, Glencoe, IL 60022
Reserve your spot for Night of 1,000 Jack-o’-Lanterns! Grab friends and family, sip festive ciders and ales, and wander the after-dark trail lit with the glow of more than 1,000 gloriously ghoulish gourds.
More than 1,000 hand-carved pumpkins—some as large as 150 pounds—will light up the night at our Halloween event. In the crisp air of fall, Night of 1,000 Jack-o’-Lanterns features only real pumpkins.
Featured pumpkins—carved by professionals—include images of favorite Halloween characters, celebrities, and nods to Chicago. On a paved path, the evening takes on a festive air, with costumed entertainers and live carving demos, along with seasonal light fare and drinks for purchase.
