Make the Most of Your Weekend
A few tips to help you enjoy everything South Jersey has to offer this weekend:
- Start early. The farmers markets open between 8 and 8:30 AM, and the best produce goes fast. Arrive early for peak selection and smaller crowds.
- Pack for the weather. August afternoons in South Jersey are hot and humid. Bring water, sunscreen, and hats for daytime events. Evenings cool off, so a light layer is useful for concerts.
- Bring cash. Many farmers market vendors and small event booths are cash-only. ATM lines can be long.
- Bring a chair or blanket. The amphitheater and park concerts are general admission on the lawn. A low-back chair or blanket makes all the difference.
- Make a day of it. The Collingswood and Haddonfield events are in walkable downtowns with excellent restaurants and shops. Park once and explore on foot.
