BERGEN COUNTY ANNOUCES RETURN OF SUMMER MOVIES & CONCERTS IN THE PARK
Four County Parks to host free movies and concerts this summer beginning on July 8
HACKENSACK, N.J. – Bergen County is thrilled to announce the return of its highly anticipated Movies and Music in the Park Summer Series, presented by County Executive James Tedesco III, the Board of County Commissioners, and the County Parks Department. Beginning on July 8, this beloved seasonal tradition will feature 25 exciting events across four locations, inviting residents to enjoy live music and outdoor movies in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Best of all, every event is free and open to the public!
“There’s nothing like summer in Bergen County, and our Movies and Music in the Park Series is one of the best ways to enjoy it,” said Bergen County Executive Jim Tedesco. “With a fantastic lineup of concerts and movies across four beautiful parks, there’s truly something for everyone. Bring a blanket, bring the family, and come make some great summer memories with us.”
Attendees are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and blankets for maximum comfort while they take in performances by talented musicians and screenings of popular films under the summer sky.
Six of the summer concerts will take place at The Stage at Riverside County Park–South, thanks to a partnership with the Borough of North Arlington. This scenic venue will provide the perfect backdrop for unforgettable nights of live entertainment.
“There’s nothing better than bringing our community together on a summer night to enjoy great music and movies in our beautiful county parks,” said Commissioner Tom Sullivan. “These events are where families create fun summer memories that last a lifetime.
