Watch as the iconic Orange County Great Park Balloon is transformed into a jack-o-lantern face on Tuesday, October 2. Balloon pilots are lifted by a large crane to attach black vinyl tarp pieces to the Balloon’s sides, creating a jack-o-lantern face affectionately known as “Jack.” There is no cost to watch the Balloon’s transformation, and guests are welcome to enjoy other Great Park amenities open that day, including the Farm + Food Lab and lawn areas. The transformation is scheduled for 9–11 a.m., but could be delayed to the evening if winds are too strong. The park will provide updates on its Facebook page here (Open in new window).
