The second annual PlayDay was held in South Orange Sunday.

SOUTH ORANGE -- About 3,500 people walked the village streets Sunday for a day filled with performances, games, and local eats.

The second annual PlayDay South Orange shut down three major village thoroughfares to set up games like mini golf and Minion soccer, blow-up bounce houses, a stage for musical performances, the New Jersey Hall of Fame's Mobile Museum, and more.

The point, organizers said, is fun.

"PlayDay is the one day when everyone gathers together to celebrate and play in the streets of South Orange Village Center," said Bob Zuckerman, the executive director of South Orange Village Center Alliance, which put on the event.

Its chairman, Matt Glass, added, "this is the largest public event in South Orange and is the chance for our entire community to literally play in the street, from basketball and tennis to jump rope, four square, music, food and dance."
