Gloucester County is looking forward to summer events and programs, and is getting ready to ring in the season with a new event.

“What better way to welcome summer than with outdoor activities that the entire family can enjoy,” said Director Frank J. DiMarco.

Director DiMarco says the event will feature vendors from across New Jersey, live music, kid’s activities like face painting and magicians, local food vendors and for the first time, local beer crafters. In partnership with Visit South Jersey, local beer crafters will serve tastings of their favorite brews.

“Our parks shine in the summer season,” said Commissioner Jim Jefferson. “They’re filled with residents of all ages taking advantage of not only the nice weather, but the programs and events we hold each year. We wanted to bring even more attention to our parks and the upcoming summer events schedule with a kick-off event for the whole county.”

Commissioner Jim Jefferson serves as liaison to the Department of Parks and Recreation. Commissioner Jefferson added that Gloucester County is still accepting vendor applications to join the Gloucester County Summer Kick-Off.
