Family-Friendly Camp Meeting Reenactment, SSAAM

Saturday October 11, 2025
12:00 PM - 4:00 PM

On Saturday, October 11 (rain or shine), the Stoutsburg Sourland African American Museum (SSAAM) will hold its 2nd annual free, family-friendly 1899 Camp Meeting Reenactment with live music, costumed reenactors, horse and buggy rides, arts and crafts, baked treats, and more. SSAAM's Camp Meeting is presented as part of Somerset County's 20th annual "Journey Through the Past" weekend.

Camp Meetings were the social and spiritual event of the year in the Sourland Mountain region from the 1800s until the 1930s. These enormous community gatherings brought people together across racial, socioeconomic, and generational differences. SSAAM's reenactment will take place at the historically African American-owned Reasoner-True House and National Historic Register-listed Mt. Zion AME Church.

Visitors are encouraged to bring their own picnic lunch to enjoy on the grass (blankets and lawn chairs welcome). Picnic lunch boxes will also be sold from noon until 1:30pm (or while supplies last). At 1:30pm, visitors will enjoy a concert by the SSAAM Heritage Ensemble, an all-African American choral group helmed by Vinroy Brown Jr. Family activities will include horse and buggy rides courtesy of Howell Living History Farm, arts and crafts, scavenger hunts, and ice cream making. At the museum, visitors can experience a special oral history presentation featuring the voices of camp meeting attendees from the early 20th century. Please RSVP here and reserve your spot! Tickets are free to all.

Amazing Pumpkin Carve, Woolsey Park

Saturday October 11, 2025
12:00 PM - 9:00 PM

The Hopewell Valley Arts Council invites the community to celebrate a decade?plus of fall fun at the 11th Annual Amazing Pumpkin Carve, returning to Woolsey Park, October 9–12, 2025. Under the glow of a big top tent, 30 massive, 150?pound pumpkins will be transformed by local artists into jaw?dropping works of art—whimsical, spooky, and everything in between. Rain or shine, visitors can stroll through the tent to see the incredible displays, making the Carve a perfect autumn outing for families, friends, and neighbors.

New this year: Guests can sip local brews in the beer garden while enjoying live music at the Woolsey Park bandshell (Friday–Sunday, weather permitting). The festival also features a hay bale play area, pumpkin painting for kids, and storytelling by the firepits, creating a full weekend of fall festivities.

Tickets: Available online and at the gate. For tickets, food vendors, entertainment schedules, and the full list of sponsors + carvers, visit www.hvartscouncil.org/amazingpumpkincarve.
