The event showcases over 30 Music Bands/Solo Artists playing on multiple stages throughout the day and into the night.  Check out the complete list of performers and set times below. For information on the performers, click here.

Their Kid's Zone has activities for pre-K to age 18 including Arts & STEM Activities • Inflatables • Rides • Carnival Games • Face Painting • And More!

​The Fitness Zone offers a preview of the offerings from local gyms, trainers, fitness studios, and athletic facilities.

​This year, their Inclusivity Zone has expanded to a wider range of inclusive offerings: the Low Sensory Zone has acoustic music in a quiet and air-conditioned space inside the Bauer Center. New to the festival, just outside of the low sensory room are NJ Special Olympics activities, including an obstacle course and a basketball demo. At dusk, there will also be a silent disco out on the tennis courts for those who want to get their groove on to the beats of a DJ playing a variety of music on different channels.
