Discover An Enchanting Pumpkin Sail At Echo Lake Park In New Jersey

Halloween is just days away and we can’t wait to celebrate. When it’s over, we’ll be sad to see it go – but saying goodbye can be a celebration, too! Several New Jersey towns offer Halloween send offs but we’re particularly fond of this family-friendly event in Mountainside.
