Grab your flannel, pack your festive spirit, and get ready to make some core memories under the autumn sky. We'll see you there! The Autumn Lights Festival, a 501(C)(3) non-profit organization, has become a cherished tradition in beautiful West Milford, NJ over the past 31 years. This event continues to bring our community together to celebrate the vibrant colors and spirit of autumn with activities, performances, and vendors geared to attendees of all ages and backgrounds. Tens of thousands of visitors flock to our town annually to enjoy a festival filled with live music, delicious food, arts and crafts, and family-friendly activities. This festival has grown and improved every year since its inception - and this year's event looks to be the biggest and best ALF yet! Located in the Heart of the Highlands in West Milford, NJ, the former “Warner Bro.’s Jungle Habitat” property located within Ringwood State Park provides the Autumn Lights Festival with an expansive park-like environment to bring out the best West Milford offers. Just steps from public transportation, shops, bars/restaurants and several historic and contemporary AirBnB’s, Jungle Habitat and downtown West Milford, NJ come alive when transformed into an oasis of energy, activity, sound, and color by ALF. Housing several artists on the main stage, the Jungle Habitat grounds provide plenty of room to roam, take in local artist installations, check out vendor booths, grab a bite to eat, or simply relax and enjoy the show.
