It's time to kiss winter goodbye in New Jersey and spring into the outdoor festival and fair season. Spring festivals are blossoming in 2025 and promise tons of family-friendly fun and things to do. From floral festivities, like Essex County Cherry Blossom Festival, to seasonal street fairs, like Lake Hopatcong Block Party, these gatherings are a great way to spend time outdoors and experience all spring has to offer.
