Bedminister Annual Fall Fest on Sept. 10 Now Features Chief Meyer Memorial Race

Bedminster residents are invited to enjoy live entertainment, food trucks, a beer and wine garden, kids games, vendor booths, inflatable rides, and much more at Fall Fest 2016 on Sept. 10.

Fall Fest is from 11:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at River Road Park in Bedminster. In previous years, over 4,000 people attended the festival to honor and celebrate the community.

This is the perfect opportunity for local businesses and organizations to showcase what they’re about. Exhibitor spaces 10’ x 10’ for $150. All exhibitors must supply their own tables, chairs, and tents and registration must be submitted by Sept. 2.

Many non-profit organizations also set up tents at Fall Fest, such as the Far Hills-Bedminster Fire Department, the Far Hills-Bedminster First Aid Squad, Friends of the Clarence Dillon Public Library, Bedminster School PTO, and much more.

This year, Fall Fest will also add a timed 5K race in tribute to Chief Craig Meyer who passed away in Feb from pancreatic cancer. The race will begin at 9 a.m.

Chief Meyer was a longtime supporter of Fall Fest and was involved in many other community events. He also loved running the Bedminster trails. Proceeds from the Chief Meyer Memorial Race will be donated to Bedminster Charities and the Grayson C. Meyer College Fund, Chief Meyer’s son.

Fall Fest is $5 per person and kids three and under are free. Make sure to bring lawn chairs or a picnic blanket to enjoy the live music and cash if you want to purchase food or other products.
