Fall Harvest Festival Coming To Ocean Grove

A Fall Harvest Festival Arts & Crafts Show is coming to Auditorium Square Park, Main Ave to Pilgrim Pathway in Ocean Grove, on October 5th. The event is rain or shine and will run from 10 am until 4 pm.

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.

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
