The Lake Hopatcong Block Party celebrates all facets of Lake Hopatcong life by bringing visitors together with businesses, non-profit organizations, community groups, crafters, and food vendors for a community day like no other featuring activities, raffles, giveaways, a children’s scavenger hunt, and more.
Be sure to bring your appetite to the 2025 Lake Hopatcong Block Party. With so many mouth-watering vendors to choose from, you’re in for a treat!
Angry Archie’s – Established in 2015 by Chef Chris Curado and his cousin Michael Ponte, Angry Archies is an award-winning food truck that features seafood staples like Maine lobster rolls, lobster mac ‘n’ cheese, crab poutine, and crab cake sandwiches. Non seafood dishes, like the “Angry Chicken Sandwich” and “Baja Veggie Burger,” and sides, are also available.
Byram Bay Bistro – Merging the hearty flavors of Polish cuisine with the vibrant zest of Jamaican dishes, Byram Bay Bistro creates a unique fusion experience! We want to give them an extra shout out for including us in their Toast program, where customers can round up their purchase at the restaurant and donate it to our organization. Be sure to visit them in Hopatcong after (or before!) the Block Party!
Camille’s Cookie Café – Bringing artisanal-style cookies to the event, Camille bakes her wares from scratch (with love!) from family recipes.
Coney Island Pizza – Coming from Riverdale, NJ, they make delicious wood-fired pizza. To quote them directly, “Food lovers beware, you’re in for a tasty surprise!”
Cosmic Kettle Corn - This freshly made kettle corn must be tried to be believed! The perfect snack to munch on as you walk the Block Party!
Dunkin – Our friend Patty Babb is back and will be setting up shop by the Pavilion, bringing coffee, donuts, and more for everyone to enjoy (the early morning volunteers are always especially happy to see Patty and her staff pull in!).
Empanada Lady – “Gotta blame the 2009 recession for Empanada Lady’s success,” Cyndi explains on her website. She put herself through culinary school and has been selling delicious empanadas at farmers markets and festivals in New Jersey and New York ever since!
House of Cupcakes – Cupcake recipes, made famous by Food Network’s Cupcake Wars, come from the brilliant minds of Ruthie and Ron Bzdewka. They offer 35 flavors of cupcakes, as well as other sweet indulgences!
Jefferson Dairy – Serving up some sweet creamy treats to keep attendees cool and also providing free ice cream cone coupons for our children’s scavenger hunt, while supplies last!
Jersey Pickle – You can enjoy their bold, flavorful pickled products—including classic dill pickles and olives. Stock up on your favorites and experience the taste that makes them a local favorite.
Knot of This World Pretzels – Living up to their name, Knot of This World will make your tastebuds blast off with their fresh, hand-twisted, soft pretzels!
Latte Lounge and Bake Shoppe – Selling sweet treats like macarons, cakes, and cookies, they aim to satisfy your sweeth tooth!
Monster Treats – They serve up freeze dried candy and other treats. There is sure to be something for everyone.
Nessie Tea – Not only selling loose leaf tea for home consumption, Nessie Tea will also be serving drinks to be enjoyed at the Block Party. Pinkies up!
Smokin Schmidty’s BBQ – Veteran-owned Smokin Schmidty’s is doing what they do best: making great barbeque. Try their famous pulled pork sliders, sausage, pepper, and onion sandwiches, baked beans, and pickles! YUM!
Succasunna United Methodist Church – SUMC is joining the Block Party to connect with the community and serve up warm funnel cakes and fried Oreos!
Totally Nutz - Fresh roasted cinnamon-glazed nuts crafted on-site. The sweet and savory scents alone make their stand a worthwhile visit!

Merry Musicians will be at the Children’s Activities Booth making crafts and more!
Kids 12 and under can join the fun with our Children’s Scavenger Hunt, featuring hands-on activities, fun giveaways, and learning opportunities from the Lake Hopatcong community. To participate, simply stop by the children’s activity booth (zone B) to pick up a scavenger hunt card—then return the completed card to receive a free kiddie cone coupon for Jefferson Dairy (while supplies last)!
Other kid-friendly activities include exotic animal programs with Eyes of the Wild, a fishing demonstration with the Knee Deep Club, a take-home craft from the Home Dept, visiting with an alpaca from Hidden Brook Ranch, and walkabout characters like the Puppy-Wuppy Drill Team, Herbie the Miner, the Centenary Cyclone, and more!
In addition, games will be scattered throughout the Block Party, including the Froggy Fly Fling, oversized Operation (don’t touch the sides!), Tic Tac Toss, a Mini Train Striker, and Cornhole. Get your game on!
Parking at Hopatcong State Park will be offered on a space-available basis for a $10 cash donation (public parking gates open at 9:45 am).
Free off-site parking, with shuttle service, will be provided at 6 surrounding lots. (see list and map below)
A special “Barking Lot” will be available exclusively for guests bringing their dogs to the event as it is within walking distance of the park, and animals are not permitted on shuttles. It will only be open if the Hopatcong State Park lot has filled to capacity.
We have 36 handicap parking spaces available onsite at Hopatcong State Park. Onsite parking is a $10 cash donation. If the State Park is full and closes or if all handicap parking spaces are full, there are handicap-accessible shuttles on both shuttle routes for free off-site parking (you may have to wait for an accessible shuttle as we also have some school busses shuttling the routes).

Every year our volunteers rave about the camaraderie, fun, and fulfillment that comes from spending a few hours helping the Lake Hopatcong Foundation organize the lake’s largest gathering of neighbors, friends, crafters, organizations, and businesses.
Hundreds of folks join us each year to volunteer, and as the Block Party grows, so does our need for help! Whether you enjoy giving back, meeting new people, or have community service hours to fulfill for school or work, the Block Party is an excellent volunteer opportunity. Find out more and register for one, or multiple shifts below.
Businesses, non-profit organizations, craft vendors, community groups, and food merchants are all an integral part of the Lake Hopatcong Block Party!
Vendor spaces are SOLD OUT! A waitlist is available at the link below. Sponsorships with sponsor spaces are still available!
