Festival of Jack-o-Lanterns

The Festival of Jack-o’-Lanterns, presented by Hancock County Arts with the James Whitcomb Riley Boyhood Home and Museum, fills the museum gardens in Greenfield with glowing pumpkins for a free evening garden walk. Families can stroll among the jack-o’-lanterns and vote for their favorite painted or carved pumpkin.
