LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- One of Louisville's most beloved fall traditions will return this year.

Thousands of hand-carved pumpkins will fill Iroquois Park for the 13th year of the Jack O'Lantern Spectacular.

Attendees will walk through the historic woods of the park, down a glowing path lined with the pumpkins made by local artists. 

The theme for this year's season is Jack's Pun-King Trail: A Trailway of Wordplay. New this year, the king of dad jokes will be crowned.

This year's event will run from Oct. 2 through Nov. 2. Tickets go on sale Sept. 1. Proceeds go to the Parks Alliance of Louisville and its mission to invest in the city's public parks.
