Published by New Jersey Stage

originally published: 10/20/2026

(PARK RIDGE, NJ) -- Bergen County Executive Jim Tedesco, III and the Board of Commissioners invite the public to the final Music at the Barn concert for the 2026 season on Sunday, October 25, from 1:00pm – 3:30pm at the Wortendyke Barn Museum, a County Historic Site, in Park Ridge.

This annual tradition makes its return with Kenny Kosek, the top fiddler in the U.S., Barry Mitterhoff on the mandolin, Joe Selly on guitar, Marty Confurius on bass, and Marty Cutler on the banjo.

Limited seating is available. People are advised to bring chairs/blankets. Bring snacks/pack a picnic.  Wortendyke Barn Museum is located at 13 Pascack Road in Park Ridge, New Jersey.

The Wortendyke Barn has been a Pascack Valley landmark since its construction on 500 acres of land bought by the Wortendyke family in 1735.  It was used continually as a barn into the 20th century and is one of only six pure Dutch barn types in Bergen County.  In 1997, the barn opened as a museum with agriculture exhibits that include 18th and 19th century farm implements and tools, and the history of the Wortendyke family farm.

Made possible by funds from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, a partner agency of the National Endowment for the Arts.
