Soul of the Season: Joy Reimagined is a free immersive holiday toy drive + community celebration designed to uplift Newark families through creativity, culture, and connection. This one-night experience features hands-on activity stations, hot cocoa and treats, a community wish wall, a Dear Santa writing studio, and festive photo moments — all intended to spark joy and support families during the holiday season.
This year, we’re collecting 300+ toys for children and families in need. With support from community partners, local businesses, and a grant from Newark Alliance, we’re creating a space where families feel seen, supported, and celebrated.
Come enjoy a night filled with warmth, creativity, music, and holiday magic — all while giving back to the heart of our community.
Free entry WITH toy donation.
