Halloween Events In Westchester County

Image
Hello everyone!  As we are currently super close to the beginning of October, I felt it was appropriate to make a blog post about all the Halloween events you can go to here in Westchester County. As always, my purpose in writing about these events is that anybody reading is interested in what they read and decide to go to them as a result. The first event is one that I’m sure almost all of you have heard about, The Great Jack O’Lantern Blaze at Van Cortlandt Manor in Croton-on-Hudson, which goes until November 16. It consists of over 7000 hand-carved and illuminated Jack O’Lanterns, synchronized lighting, special effects, an original soundtrack, and food and drinks. The next event is Irving’s Legend at Philipsburg Manor in Sleepy Hollow, which goes from October 3 to November 1, and it consists of a retelling of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow with a special appearance from the Headless Horseman.
