Ewing residents and those in the surrounding areas will be pleased to know that Community Fest is returning for 2024.

It’s become a fall tradition for Ewing Township and The College of New Jersey to put on this fun filled event.

I have a bias, considering TCNJ is my alma mater (go Lions!), but there’s truly no feeling like strolling the College’s campus on a nice autumn day. Crisp air, gorgeous views (check out the lakes if you can), it's just... *chef’s kiss.*

That said, it’s not just for the students to enjoy, other New Jerseyans are encouraged to enjoy a day of fun activities.

When you’re ready to take a break from all the amazing vendors, check out the wide variety of entertainment for the whole family throughout the day.

Inflatables, music, and performances by local school groups are just a few of the offerings.
