Brick SummerFest 2022: Concerts, Cars, Fireworks And Fun

BRICK, NJ — Summer is here, and so is SummerFest, Brick Township’s annual concert series at Windward Beach Park and family events series.

SummerFest, which is marking its 27th year, kicks off the concert series June 30 and will continue on Thursdays through July 21. There is a food court, a beer and wine garden for those 21 or older and each concert ends with fireworks.

The concerts begin about 7 p.m., and there are shuttle buses to bring residents to Windward Beach because parking is limited at the park.

On July 14, The Benjamins are scheduled to perform. The group has been entertaining crowds throughout the nation for more than two decades and their shows are a "unique combination of classic, modern, elegance and edge."
