All good things (mega's) must come to an end.
The 2024 Metro Mega event is scheduled for 6/15/24 at East Jersey Old Town. This will be our 10th and final Mega event.
We all enjoy the atmosphere that surrounds the fun of a Mega event.
Many friends, new theme caches, and lots of adventures labs!
Our first mega event was in 2014 in Union county, we received the mega status and had 4 months to plan the event. We did scramble!
We then moved to a larger venue at NJ State’s Waterloo Village which gave us more room to roam, it ran there for 5 years.
In 2021 we moved to the beautiful and historic Middlesex Counties East Jersey Old Town.
In developing the mega events we have taken pride to offer exciting theme experiences, creating caches and adventure labs around these themes for everyone to enjoy. The past mega event themes were Metro Gathering, Canal Town, Headless Horseman/Sleepy Hollow, Haunted Village, Witches of Salem, Pirates of Port Royale, American Revolution, Spies, and recently the Postcards of New Jersey.
We also created very cool theme geocoins and pathtags for each event. These theme mega events had some great decorations too!
In 2017 to promote the mega events we created a geo-adventure and excitement to lead up to the mega event. Find the "Golden Ticket", fun clues and free coins made this a popular and exciting program. In 2021 we then added the “capture” program with the flag, spy, and NJ devil pathtag promotions.
After discussions with the hard working NNJC team, which many have been working every mega event, its decided its time to scale back.
I can personally say planning these past mega events have been very rewarding seeing the themes come together with so many happy people.
It takes a year long process, creating new themes, logistics, meetings, HQ guidelines, developing 50+ Adventure Labs, designing the theme products, building the website and store, plus back office expenses. This one day event plus pre/post events also take a good team of great volunteers!
The 2024 Mega will be a celebration of 10 years of Metro Gathering, we’ll pull out the previous mega themes and have a fun final mega event!
Its hard to think this will be our final mega event, but NNJC will still host many other NJ events!
Thank you to the NNJC team, many volunteers and all the attendees who supported these mega events!

The 2024"Golden Ticket Promotion"
The "Golden Ticket Promotion" has started!!!
Keeping with the "Tree of Life” theme we will feature the very cool "Green Man” of the forest.
The Green Man, and very occasionally the Green Woman, is a legendary being primarily interpreted as a symbol of rebirth, representing the cycle of new growth that occurs every spring.
