Step into the spirit of celebration at Prelude to JOY, a community picnic hosted by Brick City Run Club and powered by Newark Arts. This festive afternoon in Harriet Tubman Square sets the stage for the upcoming Newark Arts Festival 2025: JOY.
From field day games and family-friendly activities to arts and crafts making, music, and local food vendors, the day is designed to spark connection, creativity, and fun for all ages. Bring your friends, bring your family, and join us in creating moments of joy together in the heart of Newark.
Celebrate wellness, community, and culture as we count down to New Jersey’s largest celebration of arts and creativity.
