Tim Burton's "The Nightmare Before Christmas" is returning to the Bronx this fall, turning the New York Botanical Garden into a cinematic attraction. Running from September 25 through November 30, this year’s event offers a longer trail, enhanced light displays, and new characters from the film, according to PIX11.
Characters such as Jack Skellington and Sally will light up the trail, with the mayor of Halloween Town, Zero, and Oogie Boogie also making appearances. Organizers are enhancing the event this year, with Jeffrey Seller, founder of Adventurelive, stating, "We’re coming back better than ever this year." Attendees can expect "more surprises" as well as a variety of refreshments, including hot cider, beer, wine, and snacks, as per PIX11 article.
Incorporating new technology, the event will include interactive video projections, smart LED lighting, and 3D-printed sculptures, blending natural elements with fantastical features. Jeffrey Seller described this year’s event as a "perfect marriage of creativity, nature, and nostalgia," as reported by SILive.
The event is a limited engagement, with ticket prices starting at $33 for children and $45 for adults for timed entry, and up to $56 for flex entry. Due to its popularity, advance ticket purchase is recommended for those wishing to experience the seasonal attraction. The light trail runs Wednesday through Sunday, from dusk until 10 p.m. Tickets can be purchased at The Nightmare Before Christmas Light Trail, as noted by SILive.
