The Sleepy Hollow Halloween Story by
Kit's Interactive Theatre | 5:00 PM
Join us on the lawn for The Sleepy Hollow Halloween
Show as Kitty Jones weaves the characters from Washington Irving’s
classic story into a new and exciting tale. Designed to be spooky (but
not scary), the show begins where the original story leaves off and
combines storytelling, music, dance, audience participation, and a
great deal of humor.

Enjoy Live Jazz Music by the Alex De Lazzari Quartet
The quartet is so excited to come back to the Morristown
Pumpkin Illumination festival for the fifth year!
The Alex De Lazzari quartet has been making a
huge splash recently on the NYC and NJ jazz scene. Comprised of
trumpet, bass and drums, the quartet reinvents old standards and takes
on new original compositions in order to create a distinct sound while
still being steeped in the bebop tradition.
