10th Annual Camden Peace Games

Now in its 10th year, the Camden Peace Games returns to Von Nieda Park in the Cramer Hill neighborhood of Camden, NJ on Saturday, July 25th and Sunday, July 26th, 2026. This free, two-day outdoor basketball tournament brings together residents, youth, volunteers, and civic leaders from across the city for a weekend centered on peace, unity, and community.

The tournament is produced in partnership with the Camden Health & Athletic Association (CHAA) and supported by legendary Camden athletes and coaches, giving young players the chance to compete, connect, and engage with positive role models in their own backyard. Before tournament play each day, free skills and drills clinics are open to younger players at no cost.

Beyond the basketball, expect free food, music, face painting, giveaways, and bounce houses — a full day out for the whole family. Admission is free. In the event of rain, the games move indoors to the Rutgers Athletic Gym at 301 Linden Street, Camden.
