Warren County Farmers' Fair featuring the Balloon Festival

Celebrating the American Farmer &amp; Family Traditions since 1937!
The Warren County Farmers’ Fair is more than an agricultural fair. It boasts a hot air balloon festival, and a variety of shows and competitions you don’t often find in today’s world of digital entertainment. From demolition derbies and a rodeo, to fry pan throwing and rubber chicken tosses, the Fair provides a great variety of entertainment for all! 
Located in Harmony Township, NJ – just a few minutes north of Phillipsburg and minutes off Rt. 78 – the Fair runs from Saturday, July 25 to Saturday, August 1, 2026.
Join us for a Fireworks celebration on Sunday night, July 26, at dusk (rain date Monday). The fireworks show in celebration of our nation’s 250 years of freedom is provided courtesy of the Warren County Board of County Commissioners.
The Fair itself celebrates 88 years of affordable family fun. Admission is only $10 for an adult, and $5 for children ages 6 through 12, with 5 and under being free, as well as free parking. Advance admission tickets are available online, handling fees apply.
Fair admission includes access to the balloon festival. It’s like two events for the price of one. If you’ve never been to a balloon festival, the balloons come out in the evening, with a 6:30 pm launch time. Full flight balloon rides are available and may be scheduled in advance to ensure your spot. Email <a href="mailto:fly@balloonfestnj.com">fly@balloonfestnj.com</a> to inquire about pricing and to reserve. Tethered rides are available each evening on a first-come, first-served basis, ranging from $20-$30 per person. The tentative start time is around 5 pm, weather conditions permitting. Patience is appreciated for these popular rides – especially for little ones – as passenger safety comes first.

Livingston High School

As local residents and friends stroll, run or bike around the Livingston Oval on Tuesday evenings this July, musicians from several community orchestras are gathering in the the township's&nbsp; high school band room to celebrate works “Made in America.” 
Under the musical direction of Conductor Nate White, Essex County Summer Orchestra Players members are experiencing the communal joy of creating live music in preparation for their 25th
annual concert. This Free Sunday afternoon Aug. 2 program includes John Williams’ magical and moving “Theme from Jurassic Park,” and Ferde Grofe’s “Mississippi Suite,” a musical boat journey from the quiet streams of Minnesota to the Mardis Gras atmosphere of New Orleans. Also featured is what is considered the most popular American Symphony of all times, William Grant Still’s blues infused “Afro-American Symphony,” and Sergei Rachmaninoff’s orchestral suite “Symphonic Dances,” his poignant final major work written during his decades long American residency. 
The orchestra looks forward to joining you for an engaging afternoon of rich melodies, unique instrumental colors and deep emotion on the first Sunday afternoon in August. A concert flyer and more details about the orchestra can be found on the orchestra’s website, <a href="https://www.ecsponj.com." rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">ecsponj.com.</a>
