About Pumpkin Illumination

Each autumn, the Morris County community gathers at Vail Mansion Plaza for Pumpkin Illumination. Attendees are invited to come in costume and to bring a carved pumpkin to place around the reflecting pool. We provide electric tea lights to place inside each jack-o-lantern, creating a dazzling display that reflects off the water as the sun sets.

This fun-filled evening also features activities like storytelling, art workshops, music and dancing, and a luminary mask parade. A FREE, family-friendly event, Pumpkin Illumination is the perfect way to celebrate the fall season and enjoy the arts in a beautiful outdoor setting.
