Get ready to bang your heads and shake your severed limbs in the air… the Asbury Park Zombie Walk returns on Saturday, October 8th! This year we want to turn Asbury Park upside down with the return of the living dead in an 80’s and 90’s punk rock and heavy metal themed event! The city by the sea has an incredible history as an epicenter for emerging music and creativity. Join us on the Asbury Park Boardwalk for a day of fun, music and of course… brains!
More news to come...
The Asbury Park Zombie Walk was founded in 2008 and has become one of the most iconic events on the AP Boardwalk. It is recognized as one of the largest events of its kind in the USA.
The New Jersey Zombie Walk broke the Guinness World Record™ for 'WORLD'S LARGEST GATHERING OF ZOMBIES' in 2010 AND THEN AGAIN IN 2013!
A Zombie Walk is an organized gathering of people who dress up in zombie costumes and then converge quickly in a public area for surprise and fun. Walks usually in urban areas such as shopping malls or town squares. Participants arrive at a pre-determined time (often at a hidden location) and then emerge as a group to creep in a somewhat orderly fashion through shocked and amused crowds, towards a final destination (usually a cemetery, club, bar or after party).
During the Walk, all participants are encouraged to remain in character as zombies, lurching, shambling, dragging limbs and communicating only in a zombie-like manner (such as grunting, groaning, moaning and slurred calls for “brains”.) Zombie Walks are always free events. With the exception of Zombie Pub Crawls, most walks are family-friendly, so participants of all ages are welcome to join in the fun.

Makeup artists will return to the event this year in a limited capacity to offer contact-free airbrush makeup at the Zombie Walk tent located at the 4th Avenue Green Space on the Boardwalk.
If you are not vaccinated wearing a mask to this year's Zombie Walk is strongly encouraged. Masks are not mandatory but are recommended to keep our younger and at-risk participants safe.
We also recommend maintaining a social distance of six feet apart from other groups of Zombies while participating in this year's event. The horde will just be spread out a little more than usual so everyone can enjoy comfortably.
Tickets will be available at the Information & Merchandise booth in front of the Makeup Tent.
We are also adding a "Best Mask Incorporation" category to this year's Costume Contest!
We ask that everyone attending this year please be mindful of your distance from other participants on the Boardwalk.
Do you have questions or comments about the event? Send us a message, and we will get back to you as soon as we can.
