<h2>The Oxx Foundation to Host Autumn Lights Festival for Parkinson’s in Downtown Toms River</h2>
Community festival will bring together live music, local vendors, family activities, a cornhole tournament and Parkinson’s awareness at Huddy Park
TOMS RIVER, N.J. — The Oxx Foundation will host its Autumn Lights Festival for Parkinson’s on Saturday, October 24, 2026, from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at Huddy Park in Downtown Toms River.
Designed as a day of community, connection and awareness, the Autumn Lights Festival will bring families, local businesses, artists and community organizations together while shining a light on Parkinson’s disease and the individuals and families whose lives are impacted by it.
The family-friendly fall festival will feature live music, food trucks, local vendors, a pumpkin patch, face painting, an Art Expo and other seasonal activities throughout the day.
Live entertainment will feature a diverse lineup of local performers, including The Angeltones, Chris Guzman, The Perfect Blend Band and Scott Ivory.
The festival will also feature a Cornhole Tournament presented by Fun Bags. Players can warm up beginning at 10:00 a.m., with tournament play starting at 11:00 a.m. The competition will include four round-robin games followed by double elimination. Registration is $80 per team.
More than a fall festival, Autumn Lights is an opportunity to create greater visibility and understanding of Parkinson’s disease while introducing the community to the programs, resources and support available through The Oxx Foundation.
“Autumn Lights represents what our foundation is all about — bringing people together, creating meaningful connections and making sure those living with Parkinson’s and their families know they are not walking this journey alone,” said Michelle Oxx, Founder and CEO of The Oxx Foundation. “We wanted to create an event where the entire community could come together, enjoy a beautiful fall day and, at the same time, help us shine a brighter light on Parkinson’s.”
The Oxx Foundation works to support individuals and families navigating Parkinson’s disease through advocacy, education, community connection and wellness-focused programming. Its growing programs include movement and exercise opportunities, art therapy, support groups, educational resources and community events designed to promote connection, confidence and quality of life.
