About Essex County Summer Music

These events — hosted by Essex County Executive Joseph N. DiVincenzo Jr. and co-sponsored by the Essex County Department of Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Affairs, Rose Squared Productions, Horizon, and New Jersey State Council of the Arts — have been happening each summer for many years. Aside from the festivals and fireworks, the live music portion of the events has a large lineup of musicians and performers that take the stage at Essex County’s wide array of parks. A new addition to this year’s happenings includes waterfront concerts at the Essex County South Mountain Recreation Complex.
