Get the creative juices flowing this week at artsy, crafty fall events throughout New Jersey. Kids have the opportunity to create garden crafts at Story Time: Up in the Garden, Down in the Dirt, instruments at Tinkering with Sound and apple creations at both Apple & Potato Printing and Fall Preschool Nature Classes. They can also have an art-filled night out at Kids Only Paint Party. And don’t forget to check out our Event Calendar for even more options!

Fall is in the air, and judging by the number of outdoor fairs and festivities this weekend, it’s going to be a busy, fun-filled season. Come hungry to the Atlantic City Seafood Festival and Oasis Farm’s Apple Festival. Have old-fashioned fun at Belvidere Victorian Days and 1920s Country Fair & Harvest Festival. Even the family dog gets in on the action at the Fifth Annual Bark-a-Que. Whatever you decide to do this weekend, we hope you enjoy it with family and friends.

The countdown to school is on! While fall may be on the brain, there are technically a few more weeks until autumn.  Stay in the summer spirit a little longer at Point Pleasant’s final Kiddie Beach Show and the kickoff of the Labor Day Italian Festival in Scotch Plains. Try out some free classes at Kick Dance Studios Open House and the Music Together Demo Class. And don’t forget to check out our Event Calendar for even more options!
