M&amp;M’S® Halloween in Newark returns for its twelfth consecutive year, bringing the community together for two days of candy, costumes and Halloween fun, because “It’s More Fun Together.” This year, guests can&nbsp;add their own flair to pumpkin decor,&nbsp;step into a 360-photo booth to capture the celebration and visit&nbsp;the Mars candy station with Mars classic treats&nbsp;like M&amp;M’S, SNICKERS, SKITTLES&nbsp;and more. 

Attendees will also receive tote bags filled with an assortment of Mars products, festive goodies and can choose from a selection of size-inclusive costume kits (while supplies last).&nbsp; 

M&amp;M’S, alongside the City of Newark, will host these&nbsp;two community-wide events on Saturday, October 17 and at the JFK Recreation Center and Sunday, October 18, at the Marquis “Bo” Porter Sports Complex. 

To accommodate attendees with sensory sensitivities, there will be a designated “sensory/quiet zone” for guests with neurodivergence or anyone that needs to step away from the excitement.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Newark Public Library - Main Branch

Join us for an artist talk with Jimena Vega at the Newark Public Library presented with the Price Institute at Rutgers-Newark. Vega will be discussing her work in relation to art, memory, immigration and plants. Jimena Vega was born and raised in Ambato, a community in the Andean mountain of Ecuador. After experiencing a childhood full of traditions interwoven with nature, she immigrated to urban New Jersey as a teenager to reunite with her family. In spite of the initial challenges and bewildering metropolitan cultural shock, Jimena persevered and earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Architecture from the New Jersey Institute of Technology in 2012. Drawing inspiration from her nature-filled childhood, her migration journey, and the cultural and artistic resilience of immigrant&nbsp; communities in the United States, Jimena began to explore diverse mediums such as illustration, sculpture, and art-making with organic materials. She also began participating in and facilitating women’s circles centered on plants, healing, oral history, and therapeutic art-making. Her art and her workshops have been featured in diverse places, such as Guttenberg Arts, the Queens Museum, Rabbit Hole Farms in Newark, Passaic County Arts Center, St. Peter’s University, and Raíces Cultural Center. Recently, Jimena completed the NYFA Immigrant Artist Mentoring Program, and a residency at Wild Flower Sculpture Park at South Orange, New Jersey. Currently, she is pursuing a MFA in Printmaking at SUNY New Paltz.

Estate planning is way too important to neglect. Do not trust non-attorneys or online services to handle your estate plan – the consequences may be dire. The choice of a lawyer is an important decision and should not be based solely upon advertisements.

Berkeley College’s 11th annual Women’s Entrepreneurship Week event brings together student entrepreneurs and women- and minority-led community businesses to learn, connect, and turn ideas into action. This year’s theme, “The Smart Hustle: AI for Small Business,” will share best practices on how aspiring entrepreneurs can use AI in ways that are practical, accessible, and immediately useful – not as another technology buzzword, but as a tool that can help small business owners save time, reduce costs, improve marketing and operations, and compete more effectively. 
This event is open to students, alumni, and the community. Space is limited and registration is required. To learn more about sponsorships for our 2026 event, email <a href="mailto:KME@BerkeleyCollege.edu" rel="noopener" target="_blank">KME@BerkeleyCollege.edu</a>.
