RISE of the Jack O'Lanterns

Long Island’s original and most visited fall event returns to Usdan this fall. The woods of Usdan will showcase over 10,000 illuminated objects including 7,000 hand-carved jack o’lanterns, 3,000 specialty lanterns, and hundreds of family-friendly Halloween-themed visual displays.
