Bridgewater Democrats Host Community Picnic

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

BRIDGEWATER, NJ – June 26, 2025 – The Bridgewater Municipal Township Democratic Committee (“Bridgewater Democrats”) invites local Bridgewater, NJ residents to its First Annual Community Picnic, a family-friendly event focused on building community, connecting neighbors, and getting to know local leaders in a relaxed summer setting.

The picnic will take place on Sunday, July 13, 2025, from 1:00 to 4:00 PM at the Somerset County Park Commission's Duke Island Park, Pavilion Grove, off Old York Road in Bridgewater, NJ. The picnic is open to all Bridgewater residents and will feature games, activities, food, drinks, and more surprises.

“This event is all about bringing people in the community together in a way that’s fun, meaningful, and neighborly,” said Bridgewater Municipal Chair, Daniel Zelinski. “We want residents to feel welcomed, engaged, and inspired about Bridgewater's future.”

While the picnic is sponsored by the Bridgewater Democrats, the spirit of the event is to welcome all residents with an interest in protecting and promoting democratic values. Attendees will have the opportunity to meet 2025's three Democratic Bridgewater Township Council candidates, share ideas, and enjoy the simple pleasure of a summer afternoon among neighbors and friends.

The event will be held rain or shine under a covered pavilion. Bridgewater residents will receive free admission with advanced registration through https://bridgewaterdemocrats.org. There is a suggested donation of $10 per person or $30 per family for registered non-residents. As part of giving back to the community, donations of canned goods, cleaning, and personal hygiene products will be accepted for the Food Bank Network of Somerset County and Feeding Hands.

“Summer is the perfect time to come together, reflect on our shared values, and build new connections with the people around us,” Zelinski added. “This will be a wonderful day to actually connect with neighbors and celebrate being an important part of our vibrant Bridgewater community.”
