Every year in August, whether you’re ready or not, talk of fall begins and that includes news on the most popular Halloween events in Kentucky. One of the most talked about events is Louisville’s Jack O’ Lantern Spectacular at Iroquois Park and if you’re a fan of this incredible show, you’ll be happy to learn that it will still take place in 2020. But as with most events this year, things will look a little different as the Spectacular will be a completely drive-thru experience. But the 5,000 pumpkins will still glow and you can witness them for yourself at one of the most popular Halloween events in Kentucky.
