From our friends at THE GLOW...

There is something for everyone who visits THE GLOW: A Jack O'Lantern Experience this fall at Lake Fairfax Park in Reston, VA.

This Halloween happening will delight visitors as they are surrounded by thousands of intricately-carved pumpkins dangling from above and along the third mile walk. In the Pre-Historic Park, jack o' lantern dinosaurs stand up to 16 feet tall. Captain Jack and his band of marauders helm a 30-foot-long pirate ship, complete with skeletons and pumpkin pirates. In the pumpkin graveyard, guests will encounter black cats, ghosts and gravestones.
