Popular Fall Festival Returns To Mendham This Weekend

MENDHAM, NJ — Are you ready to kick off fall with some fun? This weekend marks the return of the annual Food, Vendor, and Music Festival at Borough Park.

Local restaurants, artisans, and musicians will be present at this popular event, which also includes a beer garden for adults and seasonal activities for the whole family.

Presented by Mendham Borough, the festival will begin at noon this Saturday and run until approximately 5 p.m., officials announced. Just like in years past, admission to Mendham Fest is free for all attendees.

With the leaves starting to change, Saturday's forecast calls for sunny skies and a warm 75 degrees, perfect for Mendham kids to enjoy the Dash N’ Splash slide and other inflatable games.

At the same time, adults can indulge in a delicious selection of dishes from local favorites like The Black Horse Pub and Sapori D'Italia, as well as popular food trucks such as Thai Elephant Truck, Bona Bona Ice Cream and Tacos El Poblanito.

The beer garden will be hosted by the Mendham Fire Department and will feature select Oktoberfest drafts, as well as wine and light beer.

Guests are welcome to bring their own chairs and blankets to relax while enjoying live music from Kimon & The Prophets and BreakTime. The performances will feature a lively mix of funk, blues, rock and pop, borough officials said.

The festival is a family-friendly event, and all age groups are invited.
