Enjoy music outdoors this summer

Summer is in full swing, and Union County has never sounded better, from Cranford’s Thursday night Summer Sounds at Eastman Clock Plaza to Westfield’s expanded Sweet Sounds Downtown series to Summit’s Sweet Sounds every Thursday and Friday. We’re spotlighting the best live music lineup of the season alongside two new Roselle Park coffee spots, Salento House Coffee and Penstock Coffee Roasters, to keep you energized.

And for jazz aficionados, if you drive just a little further outside Union County, on Saturday, July 12, the Jazz, Health & Food Truck Festival will be taking place at Monte Irvin Park in Orange. It’s an all-day event (11:00 AM–9:00 PM) combining live jazz, health resources, and a lineup of food trucks for family fun.

So whether you crave Americana, eclectic genres, or soulful jazz with local flavors, there’s something for every music lover this summer in Union County.
