Unquarantine: What To Do This Weekend In Morris County

MORRIS COUNTY, NJ — Throughout the pandemic, eating ice cream has often meant getting on the couch and digging into a container of your favorite flavor, trying to make the most of another day isolated. Although many of us have been there, it doesn't have to be that way this weekend.

Sunday marks National Ice Cream Day, and you won't need to celebrate by yourself. If you're ready to leave home, there's plenty to do around Morris County this weekend (including properly celebrating the upcoming holiday).

Here are some activities:

National Ice Cream Day

It's a nationwide celebration, and there are several ways to celebrate in Morris County. USA Today gathered a list of several chains that will have deals at participating locations. And don't forget about all the small businesses and ice cream parlors on that special day.

Outdoor Theater

The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey will present shows throughout the weekend in the grass and stone amphitheater at Saint Elizabeth University. Last week's shows got canceled because of weather damage, but the theater is back with presentations of "Snug" and "Comedy of Errors." See here for prices and more info. Kids 17 and under get in free.

Friday Night on the Farm w/ James Off Main

Relax and enjoy some outdoor dining and live music Friday, while surrounded by the stunning views of Donaldson Farms — just outside of Morris County. James on Main collaborated with the farm to create farm-fresh and locally sourced cuisine. Find out more and get tickets here.

Outdoor Concerts

Outdoor summer concerts continue throughout the county. Shows this weekend will include Desert Highway at 7 p.m. Sunday at the Florham Park Gazebo. Desert Highway channels music from the Eagles in a show for all generations.

Jefferson Township's free gazebo concerts will continue at 7 p.m. Friday with Reminisce — a 10-piece band bringing you back to the 50s and early 60s. See the schedule here.

Looking Ahead: Car & Bike Show

The Bloomingdale Fire Department will host a Car & Bike Show on July 24 at the Bloomingdale Firemen's Hall (97 Hamburk Tpke.). The event will feature music and entertainment, along with awards that include Best in Class, Best in Show and Furthest Traveled. Registration costs $20, but spectator admission is free.
