From Oct. 4 to 28, experience the most epic pumpkin patch in town: 5,000 hand-carved jack o’lanterns illuminating Charlotte Motor Speedway’s Carolina Rebellion Campground. Called THE GLOW, this family-friendly Halloween stroll features gourds shaped into all sorts of characters, historical figures and landscapes. Come face to face with 16-foot-tall dinosaurs in Pre-Historic Park, or watch as Captain Jack and his marauders helm a 30-foot-long pirate ship, complete with skeletons and pumpkin pirates. Along the 1/3-mile path, which is open from Thursday through Sunday, you’ll enjoy live demonstrations from The GLOW’s master carvers.
Upon opening on October 4, THE GLOW will run every Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday night in October. Times vary depending on the date. Advanced tickets are required and can be purchased online at theglowjackolantern.com/event-locations/.
