A Taste of Korea, Jazz & Pop Concert at Bernards Library Coming Up

If you'd like to try something a little out of the ordinary this weekend, you probably don't have to go far from Basking Ridge to do so!

There's an exploration of Korean culture (complete with a taste of the food!) at the Bernardsville Public Library and a pop and jazz concert suitable for the whole family coming up at the Bernards Township Library on Sunday afternoon.

And — admit it — maybe a little pro wrestling this weekend would be just what you need to forget the office! 

Below is a sampling of weekend activities, offering both entertainment and great family-friendly activities at the same time.
