There will be free pumpkin painting for the kids and other kids activities. Live entertainment from local bands throughout the day. Local businesses, restaurants, brewery and distillery will be open on the street as well. Free Admission & Free parking in downtown during the event.

One of the more exciting parts of your day at the Harvest Arts Festival might be if you decide to break away from the crowd and have a and have a seasonal cold one at Battle River Brewing!

Then, maybe you scoot on over to check out the spirts at Toms River's own Garden State Distillery!

How about after a long day of walking you sit down for a nice bite to eat at one of the great Downtown Toms River eateries like Capone's?

Meanwhile, the Rat will be on hand, with our own Rockin Robyn Lane from Noon til 2pm! The Rocker and the Rat Pack will have tons of games and giveaways with the Rat Prize Wheel.

Thanks to our friends at the New Jersey Lottery, those prizes will include some brand spankin' new Scratch Off Lottery Tickets! So stop by and say hi!

Believe it or not, Jimmy’s first job was overnights at a Christian Radio Station. He claims he got into radio because like Rocky Balboa once said, “cause I can’t sing or dance.” Jimmy loves to write about all local happenings, especially around his town of Toms River. Favorite Pastime (other than masturbation, of course): Cheering for the Yankees, and crying for the J-E-T-S!!! Favorite Food: Hot Sauce…I collect ’em! Favorite Drink: PRUNO…look it up, if you dare! Favorite Movies: The Exorcist, Planet of The Apes (the original), To Kill a Mockingbird, Annie Hall, and of course GF 1 & GF 2…I heard that’s how the real fans refer to them. Favorite Movie Line: easy…Murry-Caddyshack-“big hitter, the Lama”…f#$*in’ riot! Best Rat Rock Bands: STP, VH, ZEP, PEARL JAM, FOOS, PEPPERS,AC/DC Favorite New Bands: Glorious Sons, Rival Sons, Dirty Honey Most Embarrassing Moment: the moment my mother reads this shit! Best Day: I know a lot of folks say this, but it’s true: the day my little girl Jynell and my boy Big D were born! Next to that, it would have to be the day I was baked on earth day in Central Park and met Keefer Sutherland…baked too, I believe.
