No one wants summer to end!

There are so many great things to see and do during the summer, the list seems endless! Everyone has that one special event that they mark on their calendars and plan to attend no matter what!

When Dennis and Judi asked callers what NJ summer events were on their “Must See-Cant Miss” lists, here’s what they picked out. And we guarantee, there are some that you have never heard of!

Here's a list of some great local Jersey events that only the locals would know about. Check out the list and maybe you'll get to attend one or two of these yourself.
