The annual Asbury Park Zombie Walk will be going virtual this year because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The event normally draws thousands of zombie fans to the Jersey Shore town. But concerns about the virus are keeping large crowds away.
“Due to continuing health concerns and unrest affecting the entire country, we have made the decision to not have a physical Zombie Walk in Asbury Park for 2020. We simply can't run the risk of exposing our volunteers & makeup artists, local businesses & employees - and most importantly our participants and the residents of Asbury Park to a virus which continues to spike around the country,” organizers of the event said in a Facebook post.
The organizers say that they are currently thinking up ways for people to participate in the event from their homes.
The online event is scheduled to take place on Oct. 3.
