Here are some events to look out for:

J. Nunez Gallery Opening

Artist and gallery owner Jesus Nunez will be hosting a gallery opening on Saturday, Nov. 13 from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. at 343 Millburn Avenue.

Nunez was planning to open the gallery just before Hurricane Ida hit, but the storm devastated the store front, thus delaying the opening. Nunez is also the creator behind the #MillburnStrong poster that has been seen around town. The proceeds from the poster sale went toward Explore’s Ida Relief Fund.

To RSVP for the gallery opening, email carly@bluecrazemedia.com. You can view Nunez’s artwork on his website.

Millburn-Short Hills Chamber of Commerce Winter Walk Kick-Off

There will be a series of winter-themed activities held in Taylor Park on Nov. 21 at 3 p.m. Hosted by Millburn’s Chamber of Commerce, expected events include a Snowflake Stroll, live entertainment and the official lighting of the park.
