The Best of NJ Halloween Event Guide – 2022 Edition

Filling the calendar with various Halloween events is a big part of the fall season. But with so many interesting attractions going on in New Jersey, it can be hard to find the best ones. To help, Best of NJ is curating a list of the best Halloween events from across the state. Many of these events are family friendly (some are event pet friendly!), but all of them promise a spooky time.

Below is a statewide list of our favorites events, plus a special section of Featured Events we want to highlight. Be sure to get tickets early for those that require them, as these popular events are sure to sell out. Know of an event that should join our list?
