It’s been nearly ten years since the last iteration of The Bamboozle Fest took place in New Jersey. However, today the festival has announced its return to the garden state — just in time to celebrate it’s 20th anniversary. Lost but never forgotten, The Bamboozle will be taking place on May 5th-7th, 2023.
While no more details are being shared at this time — after all, we are still two years away — founder John D’Esposito confirms the news by stating: “We’re back. The clowns are safe and home where they belong. 2023 can’t come soon enough. Let’s get it.“
