'Jack O'Lantern World' annual Halloween event features pumpkins and more decorated by artisan and lit along walking path in the park.
Specially decorated and lighted gourds have taken over Paulus Park in Lake Zurich with the opening of the annual “Jack O’Lantern World” display. The Halloween-themed, monthlong showcase opened Sept. 29 and is a celebration of a hand-carved tradition born in the British Isles. These jack-o-lanterns are an updated, artistic twist on the annual ritual, with some of the giant gourds carved into celebrity faces, cash money and wild animals.
“We’ve gotten typically visitors in the thousands each day,” The exhibition runs every Thursday through Sunday throughout the month in the park and tickets must be purchased online prior to the start times, which begin at dusk – minutes after the evening sun has entirely set. Tickets run $16 for kids to $24 for adults. The event is for all ages and backgrounds and includes an Americans with Disabilities Act-accessible paved path of less than a mile.
