Halloween in Newark

M&M’S® Halloween in Newark returns for its twelfth consecutive year, bringing the community together for two days of candy, costumes and Halloween fun, because “It’s More Fun Together.”

This year, guests can add their own flair to pumpkin decor, step into a 360-photo booth to capture the celebration and visit the Mars candy station with Mars classic treats like M&M’S, SNICKERS, SKITTLES and more. Attendees will also receive tote bags filled with an assortment of Mars products, festive goodies and can choose from a selection of size-inclusive costume kits (while supplies last).    

M&M’S, alongside the City of Newark, will host these two community-wide events on Saturday, October 17 and at the JFK Recreation Center and Sunday, October 18, at the Marquis “Bo” Porter Sports Complex.    

To accommodate attendees with sensory sensitivities, there will be a designated “sensory/quiet zone” for guests with neurodivergence or anyone that needs to step away from the excitement.
