This promises to be a fantastic family event filled with fun for all ages! There will be local crafters selling their wares. Also, local artists will be on hand, so maybe you can walk away with a unique piece of local artwork! Meanwhile, there will be food vendors and live music!

The band Spare Parts will rock live from 11 am until 1 pm. They are no strangers to the Ocean Grove Fall Harvest Festival. Here's a clip of them jamming out there a couple of years ago.

Next up will be a great local talent, in the form of the Chuck Lambert Band from 1 pm until 4pm. Chuck has been called "the Dean of the Jersey Shore Blues scene." It's with good reason. Check out Chuck and the band here.

About Ocean Grove New Jersey

The Great Auditorium In Ocean Grove NJ Ocean Grove Chamber Of Commerce

According to the town website, cean Grove was founded in 1869 when a group of Methodist clergymen formed the Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association to develop & operate a summer camp meeting site on the New Jersey seashore.

By the early 20th century, the popular Christian meeting ground became known as the “Queen of Religious Resorts.” The community's land is still owned by the camp meeting association and leased to individual homeowners & businesses.

Now, as New Jersey's finest year-round family seashore resort, this one square mile of natural beauty has welcomed & delighted vacationers for over a century.

​On Ocean Grove's tree-lined streets is the largest assemblage of authentic Victorian architecture in the nation. In 1976, the town was entered in the National Register of Historic Places and, in 1977, the New Jersey State Register of Historic Places.

Though the population swells in the summer months, Ocean Grove is “open for business” 365 days a year, with over 3000 year-round residents.

The Fall Harvest Festival in Ocean Grove is free to attend. The Fall Harvest Festival is presented by the Ocean Grove Area Chamber Of Commerce. For more info or if you are interested in becoming a vendor at the Fall Harvest Festival, email info@oceangrovechamber.org

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.
