Family Fun Day & Touch-A-Truck Returns To Bridgewater Commons On Sunday

BRIDGEWATER, NJ — The Annual Bridgewater Family Fun Day & Touch-A-Truck Community Event returns this year on Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

This year’s Family Fun Day, held outdoors at Bridgewater Commons, 400 Commons Way (Parking Lot #9), Bridgewater, will once again feature a lineup of trucks and vehicles for children of all ages to explore, including emergency services vehicles, construction equipment, delivery trucks, and fan favorites like the Batmobile.

Families can also enjoy rides, games, inflatables, music, food trucks, and craft vendors.

Admission is free and the event is open to the entire community. Face painting and select arts & crafts activities will be available for a nominal fee.

Returning for 2025 is the Special Needs Resource Fair, showcasing local businesses and organizations that provide programs and services for individuals with disabilities and their families.

The event is presented by the Shimon and Sara Birnbaum Jewish Community Center (JCC) in partnership with Bridgewater Township and Bridgewater Commons.

Atlantic Health System continues as the Title Sponsor of the event. Each year, the JCC provides more than $500,000 in scholarship assistance to individuals and families in need. Event proceeds benefit the JCC Sustainability Fund, which supports early childhood education, summer camp, and inclusive programs for children and adults with disabilities.

"The JCC is proud to bring this wonderful family event to our community each year," said Laura Friedman, CEO of the JCC, Bridgewater. "It’s incredibly rewarding to see how the event continues to grow and how much joy it brings to families. We are deeply grateful to our program partners, Bridgewater Township, Bridgewater Commons, Title Sponsor Atlantic Health System, and all our sponsors and supporters for helping us make this day possible."

Bridgewater Township Mayor Matthew Moench added, "Bridgewater Family Fun Day is one of the most anticipated events of the year, and it’s inspiring to see the community come together in such a fun and meaningful way. We’re proud to partner once again with the JCC, Bridgewater and Bridgewater Commons to make this an anticipated and successful event."
