Newark Fan Fest Home Court Marketplace

The Newark Alliance, Invest Newark, and the City of Newark’s Arts and Education District are partnering on a highly collaborative campaign, “Newark Fan Fest”, to leverage the influx of approximately 19,000 visitors attending the NCAA March Madness basketball tournament at the Prudential Center (March 27-29, 2025). This initiative aims to leverage visitors and engage Newark residents to visit the Arts and Education District’s small businesses and cultural institutions, while continuing to build Newark’s reputation as a vibrant destination for dining, shopping, and cultural experiences.
