BLOOMFIELD, NJ — The following news release comes courtesy of Bella Princess. Learn more about posting announcements or events to your local Patch site.

Halloween doesn't have to be canceled this year! On October 24 and 31, whimsical character entertainment company Bella Princess and the beautiful Oakeside Cultural Center in Bloomfield will be partnering to offer families a Spooktacular Wonderland Carnival, hosted by Alice in Wonderland and featuring a cast of familiar friendly and spooky (but not scary) faces!

Join Alice and friends for a guided scavenger hunt through the Oakeside Mansion, featuring an assortment of activity stations and interactive character experiences. Families will progress through the hunt stations in cycles of 5 to 6 kids at a time to ensure that all parties can maintain social distancing guidelines. Event staff will be strictly enforcing safety measures in accordance with the state COVID guidelines. Masks must be worn by all attendees in accordance with state age requirements.

The event will conclude at a Halloween concession stand where the whole family can take home treats (including boozy cupcakes for any adult who is so inclined). The Oakeside will also be hosting food trucks and additional vendors in the parking lot.

Featured by Buzzfeed, Refinery29, The Dr. Oz Show, ABC7, and the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Bella Princess is known for its incredible magical events, from fairy-tale birthdays to large-scale royal balls. In 2020, the addition of new virtual services means that families can now enjoy personalized video messages and magical video playdates.

Tickets to the Spooktacular Wonderland Carnival are available on the Bella Princess eventbrite page.
