One of the most anticipated Halloween events in the Hudson Valley opened for the season Friday.

Despite the pandemic, the first night of the Great Jack O'Lantern Blaze in Croton-on-Hudson was sold out.

Organizers say they want families to have fun but also be safe and feel safe. They have coronavirus safety protocols in place starting with making sure everyone is wearing a mask.

Tickets must be purchased online, they are not selling any at the entrance.
