Have Questions?
When and where is FunFest?
The 1st Annual Foundation FunFest now takes place Saturday, October 17 from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM at Ivy League Day Camp in Manalapan, NJ. It was originally scheduled for September 26 and moved because of the weather forecast.
I bought wristbands for September 26. Are they still good?
Yes. Every wristband purchased for the original date is good for Saturday, October 17. There is nothing you need to do.
Is admission free?
Yes. Admission to FunFest is free and no ticket is required. Wristbands are only needed if your child wants to go on the rides and activities.
How much are wristbands?
The Activity Wristband is $20 and covers a full day of festival activities. The Activity + Specialty Wristband is $30 and adds our specialty rides, which are bigger, higher-thrill setups with their own height and age requirements. Get wristbands here.
Can I buy wristbands at the event?
Yes, wristbands will be sold at the gate on the day of the event, but at a higher price. Buying online ahead of time locks in the lower rate and gets you straight to the fun.
Do I need a wristband for every child?
Yes, wristbands are per child and are needed for the activity areas. You can register more than one child in a single checkout.
Who is FunFest for?
Everyone in the MERS community: families, students, teachers, neighbors, and supporters of all ages. The more the merrier.
What activities will be there?
Expect a full day of activities and attractions, food trucks, bounce houses, and live student performances. A full schedule will be posted closer to the date.
How does FunFest support MERS students?
Every sponsorship, wristband, and donation raised at FunFest goes directly into classroom grants across our 8 PK–8 schools, funding STEAM programs, field trips, student leadership, and hands-on learning tools.
Is parking available?
Yes, parking is available on-site at Ivy League Day Camp. Additional logistics and directions will be posted closer to the event.
How can I volunteer or become a sponsor?
We’d love your support! Reach out at info@foundation4mers.org or sign up on our Volunteer Form to get involved.
Can my business be a vendor at FunFest?
Yes! We welcome local vendors and food trucks. Visit our vendor page to learn about space, pricing, and how to apply.
