America's largest night pumpkin cemetery light show debuted in Los Angeles
Reporting by journalist Maggie Ma Los Angeles
The Magic of the Jack-o'-Lanterns from Denver first came to Los Angeles, officially opening at Whittier Narrows Park last weekend. This is the largest nighttime pumpkin light show in the United States and has been a Halloween tradition in Denver. Thousands of various pumpkin carvings plus LED lights, combined with smoke, transform the park at night into a beautiful but eerie pumpkin cemetery.
As soon as you approach the gate, you will see pumpkins shining in different colors, not only with different expressions, but also carvings in the shape of dinosaurs, as well as carvings of movie characters and film and television music stars, which increases the ornamentation. Visitors can guess which character or star they see as they go. At the same time, visitors will also see scarecrows, sea creatures, aliens, spooky stone carvings, haunted houses and other interesting decorations, and even singing pumpkins! This is through light effects to project animation onto the pumpkin, and the animated lips and expressions match the music to form a pumpkin four-piece choir.
This light show is perfect for kids aged 5 and up, as there are many fun and child-friendly lighting effects, even dizzying space tunnels, strange ocean worlds, and eye-opening. There will also be some photo spots for the whole family. However, because the light in the park is very dark at night, children may be easily lost, so parents must pay more attention. They can be given light-colored clothes or jewelry that glows at night for easy identification. As soon as you enter the park, there are souvenirs such as glitter necklaces for sale. Naturally, there are also dining facilities, amusement facilities, and security guards in the park to ensure that everything runs smoothly.
The event starts at 7pm (when the sun sets) and visitors are only allowed in after dark, so you don't need to go too early to avoid waiting outside. Tickets include regular and independent travel. Regular tickets are $20, and if the park is crowded, you may have to wait in line. However, the free trip is $25 and can be entered at any time. In addition, there are additional sales of 3D glasses, and if you wear them, you may see more interesting content "hiding" in the park. But the road is narrow when it is dark, so you still have to be careful under your feet.
In addition, this event is only open on weekends until October 31, and you need to purchase tickets in advance on the website link and park for $10.
