Rain or Shine: Enjoy Livingston This Weekend!

Your guide to the family events happening in Livingston on June 10 & 11, including Summerfest 2016 and the Livingston BID Sidewalk Sale

Take advantage of all that Livingston has to offer this weekend, whatever the weather!

Saturday, June 10, kick off the season at Livingston's first-ever Summerfest. The Haines Pool Open House, sponsored by Saint Barnabas Medical Center, is free and open to the public from 1 pm to 4 pm. Come for a free swim, inflatable rides, a DJ, games, and the snack bar.

A huge part of Summerfest will be the Food Truck Extravaganza at the Livingston High School parking lot located on Wahler Road from 11 am to 6 pm. Take your pick of 21 food trucks and 27 craft vendors, and enjoy music, giveaways, and contests provided by radio station Fresh 102.7 FM. In the event of rain, the high school cafeteria will be open so that crafters, 102.7 FM, and attendees can move inside and stay dry.
