  • Entertainment & Demonstrations

    Thank you to everyone who provided entertainment and demonstrations at the 2025 Block Party! 

    Fishing Demo with the Knee Deep Club – the Knee Deep Club will present a casting demonstration of freshwater fishing rods and reels from 12 pm – 1:30 pm. Look for them down by the beach, or visit them in Zone A, to learn more.

    Fire Boat Demonstration – The Jefferson fire boat, Defender, returns with an on-water display, compliments of the Jefferson Fire Department Co. 2 at 1 pm. Give them a wave and let them know we appreciate all that our local fire departments do for our community!

    Eyes of the Wild – Our friends at Eyes of the Wild are back, and they are bringing exotic animal ambassadors from their 21-acre rescue operation in Hunterdon County. You can meet the team and some cool critters by visiting the Pavillion, with a program at 12:15PM and 2:15PM.

    Irish Step Dancing – A fan favorite, An Clar School of Irish Dance will be performing Irish step dances at the pavilion at 1:15pm. Don’t miss the performance and be sure to check out their booth in Zone A to learn more about the school and how to get involved.

    Meet the Alpacas – Hidden Brook Ranch of Blairstown, NJ are joining us again! Visit them in Zone B and meet a fuzzy friend. They will also be selling some of their alpaca wool apparel.

    Drone and Robot Demonstrations – Roxbury High School’s Aviation and Robotics Clubs are back, and so are their high-flying drones and down-to-earth robot demos! We can’t wait to share drone photos from this year’s event, and we know everyone’s going to enjoy the robot demonstration at 1:45PM in the town square, at the pavilion.  

    Puppy-Wuppy Drill Team – Puppy-Wuppy is a team of students and their dogs who perform at events with the purpose of educating the public on better dog handling, obedience training, and examples of how animals assist us in society. They’ll be wandering the event, showing us some cool tricks!

    Mix and Mingle in the “Town Square” – Representatives from all four lakes towns – Roxbury, Hopatcong, Jefferson, and Mount Arlington – will be in the town square at the pavilion, along with representatives from Congressman Kean and Congresswoman Sherrill’s offices. Each will feature programs from their town/district and be available to answer questions!

    Meet Cool Mascots – You never know who you’ll see at the Lake Hopatcong Block Party! We’re excited to welcome back Roxbury’s Gael and the Centenary University Cyclone this year. New this year, Herbie the Miner from the Sussex County Miner minor league baseball will be among the crowd! We’ve also heard a rumor that beloved Star Wars characters from the 501st Legion might make an appearance. Have those cameras ready for a photo opportunity!

    Lake Hopatcong Historical Museum – the Lake Hopatcong Historical Museum will be open to the public for the duration of the Block Party. Visit the museum, which is in the historic Morris Canal Lock Tender’s House on the left when entering the park and experience an eye-opening look at Lake Hopatcong’s history.
