Community Birthday Party Postponed In East Brunswick Due To Excessive Heat

EAST BRUNSWICK, NJ — East Brunswick's community birthday celebration has been postponed due to excessive heat in the township.

The event, which was supposed to take place on Monday, will now be held on June 30 at the Municipal Complex.

An extreme heat warning has been issued for Middlesex County from Monday through Wednesday night as heat index values up to 110 are possible, according to the National Weather Service (NWS).

"The hottest temperatures and heat indices will occur on Monday and Tuesday. Low temperatures near 75 to 80 degrees and high humidity will not offer much relief from the heat at night," according to NWS.

The Community Birthday Party will kick off at 5 p.m. with activities designed for children and families, including crafts and activities hosted by the East Brunswick Girl Scouts and hat decorating with the East Brunswick Youth Council. The first 200 children will receive free ice cream tickets for the Davey B'zz truck, available at the Recreation and Parks table.

Community members are encouraged to support local initiatives by donating unopened, unexpired cake mix boxes to the E.B. Adaptive Recreation and E.B. Youth Council Birthday Bag Project.

Contributors will be entered into a drawing for a Recreation and Parks "Swag Bag."

The EB Merch Shop will also be open during the event, accepting both cash and Venmo payments.
The main attraction begins at 6 p.m. with a free concert performance by Mr. Ray, taking place directly in front of the Municipal Building.

Families are encouraged to bring picnic dinners, lawn chairs or blankets for seating, and their enthusiasm for what organizers promise will be "a great night in East Brunswick."
