Every October, Westfield, New Jersey celebrates the Westfield-native who created the Addams Family, Charles Addams. With spooky and elaborate events throughout the month, Addamsfest has been drawing crowds for nearly a decade. We were excited to partner with Addamsfest this year, providing rides, games, and fun for the whole family!
Born in 1912 and raised in Westfield, Charles Addams was one of the country’s premier cartoonists, with his work prominently featured in The New Yorker. His most successful creation, The Addams Family, was inspired by his hometown surroundings. The characters that began as illustrations grew into a television series, a live action movie franchise, a Broadway musical, two Addams Family animated movies, and the highly successful Wednesday series on Netflix. In October 2020, he was posthumously inducted into the New Jersey Hall of Fame. What better place to honor Addams’ talent and creativity than the town where he grew up?
