SEPTEMBER 29TH
Woodbridge
3:00pm to 6:30pm
Woodbridge is very pleased to be joining with 4 other arts supporting Middlesex County towns, Edison, Metuchen, New Brunswick and Carteret, for the Middlesex County Jazz Festival.
Since 2006 Mayor John E McCormac has worked to expand the “arts footprint” in Woodbridge Township making it one of the hubs of arts activity in Central NJ. You can find art and performing arts being presented by The Barron Arts Center, The Avenel Performing Arts Center, Music on Main Street, Gallery on Main, Woodbridge Community Players and the Mayor’s Summer Concert Series which presents over 50 free outdoor concerts each summer.
Woodbridge Township is the oldest original township in New Jersey and was granted a royal charter on June 1, 1669, by King Charles II of England. It was reincorporated on October 31, 1693. Woodbridge Township was incorporated by the Township Act of 1798 as one of the initial 104 townships incorporated in the state. The township is named after Reverend John W. Woodbridge (1613–1696) of Newbury, Massachusetts who settled in the future township in 1664.
Grant funding has been provided by the Middlesex County Board of County Commissioners through a grant award from the Middlesex County Cultural and Arts Trust Fund.
