Maplewoodstock: Local Music, Art Festival Will Return For 2025

MAPLEWOOD, NJ — Maplewoodstock is returning for a two-day celebration of music and art in 2025.

The annual festival was founded in 2004 when a dozen friends, neighbors and musicians got permission from the town to gather in the park and play some music. Since then, the summer festival has grown by leaps and bounds, adding a professional crew, a beer garden, a kids zone and more.

This year’s festival will take place on Saturday, July 12 and Sunday, July 13 at Memorial Park, 580 Valley Street in Maplewood. Each day typically kicks off about noon and ends around 9 p.m.

The festival is managed and funded by the Maplewoodstock Volunteer Committee through ads, sponsorships and sales. Maplewoodstock is produced by Music & Arts Education Project Inc., a nonprofit company headquartered in the South Orange-Maplewood area. It is supported by the town, but is not an official township event.
