Celebrate Summer at Manalapan Day 2013

Summer does not officially start in Manalapan until Manalapan Day, so get ready for the unofficial kick-off of the summer season on Saturday!

The annual event, organized by the Manalapan Arts Council, promises another fun-filled day for the whole family beginning at 3 p.m. and concluding at 10 p.m.

There will be children's rides, games, exhibits, vendors, petting zoo, pony rides, and great entertainment. Remember not to eat before coming as there will be a large variety of food vendors selling local favorites. And after dancing the night away to great musical performances, everyone will enjoy a fireworks finale.

Main Stage entertainment will feature:

• The Infernos Band
• The Rockinghams
• Manalapellas singing group
• The steel drum band “The Manala-Pans” from our local school system

Manalapan radio show host "Tommy G" will be the Master of Ceremonies. There is no admission to Manalapan Day, but please bring some non-perishable food items to donate to the Samaritan Center, the local food pantry. Also, remember to stop at the Manalapan Photo Contest Booth and vote for the People's Choice winner out of all of the photo submissions.

Parking will be available at the Manalapan Municipal Building, Manalapan High School, Manalapan Recreation Center, and Temple Beth Shalom. Shuttle busses will run from Symmes Road commuter lot and Covered Bridge commencing at 3 p.m. These busses will continue all evening with the last bus departing from the Recreation Center 30 minutes after the conclusion of the fireworks. 

Remember to bring chairs and blankets for your comfort while watching the music performances. In case of rain on June 15, The Inferno’s will perform at Manalapan High School. Admission will be limited to the capacity of the auditorium and will be cut off when full.
