The Monster Bawl Halloween Dance Party!

Monster Bawl started at the Woodland before moving to ValleyArts in 2018, Hat City Kitchen in 2020 and SOPAC in 2022. Beginning in 2024 the South Orange-Maplewood Adult School brought Monster Bawl back home to the Woodland and you have a chance to be part of this well-known, well-loved Halloween dance party.

This event routinely sells out and is highly visible on social media. Longer-term residents know about this dance party from previous events and are already looking forward to purchasing tickets for this year. Through our marketing efforts, we will reach newer residents who will be first-time attendees. We anticipate this event to sell out at 250 tickets. Tickets to attend Monster Bawl are available via this link: Monster Bawl Ticket. Sponsorship information is below!

Be a part of Monster Bawl!

We are proud to host this signature event - our major annual fundraiser - and we invite you to be part of the excitement by becoming a sponsor! Read on for sponsorship opportunities.

Because people make Halloween plans early, our “Save the Date” will go out soon. Sponsors who commit early will be part of our marketing from the start and receive exposure for a longer period of time.
