2023 Halloween Fun & Wellness Fest
Carnival/Festival for Mission: Kid SuccessOct 14, 2023 from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM
This highly anticipated community event is an inclusive festival for all-ages, promoting health and wellness in a fun, Halloween-themed atmosphere. The event attracts approximately 150 attendees and is supported by the Elmwood Park police and fire departments, local businesses, and non-profit organizations including Montclair State & William Paterson University sororities.
Participants can enjoy a range of martial arts and yoga classes, including adaptive classes for those with special needs. Entertainment includes music, magic show, costumed characters, touch-a-truck, and a retro video game lounge. Children especially enjoy the arts and crafts tent, sensory zones, and interactive trick-or-treat stations offering natural, allergy-friendly, and non-food options.
All proceeds will benefit Mission: Kid Success (MKS) in their goal to provide families with greater access to essential services and therapies for their children. Established in 2019 by a mother whose child greatly benefited from various therapies, MKS recognizes that many of these therapies are not covered by insurance and are often unaffordable for families. By awarding grants, MKS helps families provide their children with the therapies and services they need to succeed.
