CINNAMINSON, NJ — A glow-in-the-dark basketball tour will travel next month through Burlington County and light up the night in Cinnaminson.

XGLOsive will bring glow-in-the-dark equipment and uniforms, black lights and dance music to five different spots around the county. The company holds events centered around sporting fun with a "night club" atmosphere.

The events are designed to provide substance-free fun for kids and teens. Organizers described the upcoming tour as a "fun, no-pressure social experience" offered free to Burlington County residents 12 and older.

Here's the upcoming schedule (all events begin at 8 p.m.):

• Evesham: Aug. 11, at 1004 Tuckerton Road (co-hosted by Evesham Municipal Alliance and Evesham Police Department)
• Hainesport: Aug. 12, at Hainesport Municipal Park, 1401 Marne Highway (co-hosted by RCASA Alliance)
• Cinnaminson: Aug. 16 at Wood Park, 2321 Riverton Road (co-hosted by Cinnaminson Township)
• Mount Laurel: Aug. 15 at Larchmont Swim Club, 291 Larchmont Boulevard (co-hosted by Mount Laurel Municipal Alliance)
• Burlington City: Aug. 17 and 18 at Burlington City High School, 100 Blue Devil Way (co-hosted by Burlington City Police Department)

The Burlington County Municipal Alliance Program is hosting the program in partnership with XGLOsive, the Burlington County Department of Human Services, Prevention Plus of Burlington County, and the hosting municipalities.

Since 2019, XGLOsive has held glow-in-the-dark tennis parties with the Municipal Alliance and Prevention Plus. This year marks the first time the groups will host basketball events.

"We’re spreading the message that you don’t need drugs or alcohol for fun and excitement this summer,” said Joe Conlin, program coordinator for Prevention Plus of Burlington County. "The tennis parties were a big success here, so we’re excited to help XGLOsive branch out into other glow-in-the-dark sports."
