MAPLEWOODSTOCK !!!!

Maplewoodstock is a two day festival of local music and arts.

Many local restaurants set up tables to sell their delicious foods. In the past we’ve had everything from hamburgers/hotdogs to Indian food and Portuguese sausages.  OR, bring a blanket and a picnic basket and hang out all day long.

Music lineup includes:  The Smithereens, Raul Malo, The Revelations, Seth Walker, Rich Pagano, and Alexander Kariotis & The Rock Opera Orchestra

Art is a huge part of Maplewoodstock. Art, collectables, crafts, clothes, and more are available from local artist and merchants.  In addition, the 1978 Arts Center in Maplewood reguarly exhibits a dynamic and engaging art experience.

Is Maplewoodstock kid-friendly?  Absolutely!

On the weekend of the event, we always could use extra hands on set-up, break-down, and garbage patrol.  Email maplewoodstock@gmail.com if you want to volunteer.  Teenagers wishing to volunteer should contact HK Community Fund of Maplewood & South Orange at hkcf@comcast.net or visit their website — www.hkcommunityfund.org.

There is small parking lot by the Maplewood train station.  Other than that, park on the streets (just observe all posted signs about where and when you can and can’t park).   Also, we are right across from the Maplewood train station on NJ Transit.
