Located just east of Mount Holly, NJ, Eastampton Township is a quiet place that holds a lot of history. But that doesn’t mean the exciting hustle and bustle of the town is long in the past—in fact, there are plenty of things to do in and around the Eastampton Township area that can turn any mundane afternoon into a memorable one.

Planned Events

Eastampton Township’s Recreation Committee has planned and scheduled events for the community for years—but they’ve recently stepped up their game. They’ve got every season jam-packed with fun activities for any adventurous group or friends, family, or simply a spontaneous solo outing. In the Spring, the town has an Easter Magic Show that is sure to widen eyes and impress young minds. Summertime is complete with a fishing tournament and a Movies in the Park night that brings the community together. Last fall, people of all ages enjoyed a skating party, a seasonally-appropriate hayride and bonfire night, trunk-or-treat for the kids, karate for youth and adults, and of course, Eastampton Day. Got the winter blues? The township also has a day of pictures with Santa and a Holiday Tree Lighting at the Manor House for the whole family.

Eastampton Day

Eastampton Day is an all-day event complete with food, games, arts and crafts, face painting, moon bounce fun, an obstacle course, and live DJ music! Formerly known as “Fun Day,” the event takes place every fall and draws a crowd from all over town, ready to end the summer with a bang!
