It is the first time the walk-through family activity will be at the Meadowlands.
More than 5,000 jack o'lanterns will light up the Meadowlands next month at the New Jersey debut of Rise of the Jack O'Lanterns.
The four-day event allows people to walk through a scenic walking path featuring the colorful and intricately-detailed creations. The jack o'lantern art features life-size dinosaurs and pop-culture characters young and old, multi-pumpkin artistic structures and characters.
There are also carving stations where visitors can watch artists turn 100-pound pumpkins into the different jack o'lanterns on display.
