Festival of the Jack O'Lanterns at the Chattanooga Nature Center

The Festival of the Jack O’Lanterns features pumpkin carving, storytelling, a bonfire for cooking s’mores, live music, hayrides through the Reflection Riding Arboretum and Botanical Garden and outdoor movies such as the Halloween favorite, “It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown.” Pumpkins can be purchased at the event or bring your own. Bring a blanket or chairs if you plan to stay for the movie.

In the Kiddie Korner, toddlers and preschoolers can “go fish,” “pick-up-the-duck” and play many other fun games. Prizes are awarded, and every child will have a complimentary bag to use for all their goodies! At dusk, the Blue Heron Boardwalk will light up during the “Lighting of the Jack O’Lanterns” featuring carved pumpkins.

Food vendors will be available, and to satisfy your sweet tooth, there will be baked goods, s’mores, Coke products and other goodies for purchase.

Admission for CNC Members is $10 for adults and $8 for children ages 4 through 11. Admission for non-members is $12 for adults and $10 for children. Children three and under get in free. There will be an additional charge for pony rides and the petting zoo. Visa, Master Card, American Express or cash will be accepted at the festival.

So, gather up the kids, costumes and Halloween spirit and come to the Chattanooga Nature Center’s 10th annual Festival of the Jack O’Lanterns Saturday, Oct. 17, from 2 to 9 pm and Sunday, Oct. 18, from 1 to 6 pm.
