Back to Hack is Hackensack’s area winter festival. The event started many years ago when a group of people tried to figure out something fun to celebrate the winter and get out of the house. We have Sweetheart Days in the summer and the group came up with the idea of bringing your “Sweetheart Back to Hack” in the winter. Back to Hack celebrates winter with activities including the Frostbite Your Fanny Fun Run, Paul Bunyan Family Fishing Contest, Medallion Hunt, Kids Games in the Snow, Snow Sculpting, and a Community Bonfire and Fireworks.
