Asbury Park Zombie Walk Going Virtual

ASBURY PARK – Organizers say the Asbury Zombie Walk will go virtual in 2020, citing the continuing health concerns and unrest affecting the entire country.

"We simply can't run the risk of exposing our volunteers and makeup artists, local businesses and employees – and most importantly, our participants and the residents of Asbury Park, to a virus which continues to spike around the country," organizers said on Facebook.

New Jersey has been combating COVID19 longer than most in the nation, organizers say, and by working together as a community, the state has successfully “flattened the curve” over the last few months.

This has paved the way for schools, businesses and restaurants to reopen in the state, "but we must remain overly cautious if we are to keep this very real virus from resuming its spread," organizers say.

Organizers say to be on the lookout for updates and announcements on their website and Facebook page over the next week.

"We miss you all and look forward to planning a bigger and better Asbury Park event in 2021. In the meantime let’s make the most of this situation and still have some fun!"
