Glowing Pumpkin Arch Draws Crowds on New York Waterfront

Long lines of visitors waited for their turn to pose beneath a giant arch of pumpkins and autumn leaves on the Manhattan waterfront, framed by the Brooklyn Bridge, as Halloween season hit New York City.

X user NYC Photographer filmed the scene at Pier 17 in the Seaport on October 22, writing, “Pumpkin Arch mania is BACK.” The video moves from sunset to nightfall, showing groups of people lining up to snap photos under the orange arch as the bridge glows behind it. Once darkness falls, strings of twinkling orange lights switch on across the arch.

The video also features a small dog named Rosie, riding in a stroller and dressed in a purple outfit, who the filmer ran into with her owner, Kata.

The 10-foot arch, made of hundreds of pumpkins and autumn leaves, returned to the Heineken Riverdeck at 89 South Street on October 22 and is free to visit. The Seaport is also planning trick-or-treating for Halloween.
