Published by New Jersey Stage

originally published: 09/09/2024

(HADDON TOWNSHIP, NJ) -- Breaking with the tradition of quiet fall fests full of pumpkins and apples, the Haddon Township Fall Festival extends summer vibes with amusement rides, a beer garden, rocking live bands and dancing, a wing eating contest, a dunk tank, food trucks and Disney character drop-ins. On September 14 (rain date: September 15), the Fall Festival will take over blocks and blocks of Haddon Township from the Crystal Lake Pool Complex, where JAM FEST happens, and goes for 5 blocks all the way down West Park Boulevard as part of the STREET FAIR.

“Our Fall Festival is a fun-filled family event,” says Haddon Township Mayor Randall Teague. “We’re not ready to let the summer vibes slip away just yet. Before we get into chilly weather activities, come join us for one last hurrah with carnival rides for the kids, a beer garden for the grown ups, and dancing to live music for everyone!”

STREET FAIR activities include: Kids Entertainment; Rides, Bounces, and Obstacle Course; Car Show; Fire Trucks; Food Trucks; Wing Eating Contest; Apple Pie Baking Contest; Dunk Tank; Live Music and Dancing; and Special appearances by Cinderella, Elmo, Spiderman, Captain America & Elsa.

The JAM FEST at the LAKE (Crystal Lake Pool Complex) will provide Live Music all day from Noon to 9 pm on the Main Stage.  Beer Garden, Food Trucks Ping-Pong, Corn Hole and more! Performers include Dominic McNew Jr., Vahe Sarkissian Group, Reggae Thunder, Big Boots, John Torres Band, Smash Palace, and The Juliano Brothers.

Voted as one of the top 20 towns in which to live, work, or play by South Jersey Magazine, Haddon Township has blossomed into one of the premier communities in the metro-Philadelphia region. Thanks to its prime location and dedication to community involvement, the roughly 14,000 residents of Haddon Township enjoy the perfect balance of work and recreation. With its proximity to the revitalized business district along Haddon Avenue and strong public art partnerships with the Ritz Theatre Company and SoHa Arts on the White Horse Pike, visitors can enjoy fine eateries, established businesses, and family-friendly community entertainment within a short walk from public transportation.
