Township officials said unsupervised juveniles overwhelmed the New Jersey event on 1 May, forcing its closure for the rest of Friday and cancellation on 2 May.

Several teens were charged, and authorities said safety remained the priority after increasing monitoring this year with surveillance cameras and a drone following a similar 2025 incident.
