HILLSBOROUGH, NJ — Come out for great food and music while supporting a great cause at the Sourland Music Festival on Saturday in Hillsborough.

Guests should bring a lawn chair, a blanket, some sun screen and sunglasses. Local food vendors, beer and wine garden along with a lineup of music that covers the Blues, Folk, Jazz and Rock will be featured.

Music Line-up:

• The John Ginty Band
• JD Malone & The Experts
• Lisa Bouchelle
• Tom Tallitsch
• Russell Norkevich
• Karl Dietel 5
• The High Hearts

The festival will be held at Hillsborough Golf & Country Club, 146 Wertsville Road, Hillsborough from 3 to 11 p.m. Rain date is Sunday, June 18 from 2 to 9 p.m.
