Jonas brothers, martin brodeur among 2025 new jersey hall of fame inductees

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The New Jersey Hall of Fame has announced its 2025 class of inductees, nearly one year after opening its permanent location at American Dream. This year’s group includes 17 honorees from various fields, among them pop rock icons the Jonas Brothers, Olympic champion Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, renowned chef David Burke, and former New Jersey Devils goaltender Martin Brodeur.

The inductees will be formally recognized at the 17th Annual New Jersey Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony on November 21 at The Rink @ The Arena at American Dream. The event is tentatively scheduled to be hosted by actor Danny DeVito.

“This incoming class reflects the very best of New Jersey’s talent, grit, and influence,” said NJHOF Chairman Jon F. Hanson. “These inductees have made an extraordinary impact in their respective fields and continue to inspire generations.”

The ceremony will be accompanied by year-round programming celebrating the Class of 2025 and previous inductees. Since opening its doors at American Dream, the NJHOF has featured exhibits, interactive experiences, and tributes to influential New Jerseyans.

The Hall’s newest class continues that mission by honoring figures in music, sports, culinary arts, and public service who have shaped both local and national culture.

The New Jersey Hall of Fame’s 2025 class features standout names from music to athletics in a celebration of Garden State excellence.
