There’s something about the end of summer that seems so melancholy. Beach days are over and soon, we'll start to feel that nip in the air. Just after Labor Day can be a sad time for a lot of New Jerseyans but there really is so much to look forward to. Case in point: New Jersey’s favorite fall festival is back.

This event is the highlight of the post-summer season in Flemington and takes place on historic Stangl Road in Flemington‘s Artisans District.

It’s an amazing three-day festival and like everything that Flemington does, it’s always uber successful. Festival goers at the Central Jersey Jazz Festival always rave about the performances, not to mention the food.

There will be a dining selection from some of the area's best local restaurants right near the outdoor stage. Also, don’t forget the bar with frozen drinks, seasonal cocktails, wine, and selections from Lone Eagle Brewery, a hometown brewery that Flemington is proud to call its own.

The Central Jersey Jazz Festival began in 2013 with New Brunswick and Somerville and Flemington was added in 2014. The goal was to bring culture, arts, and education to commercial districts; promote history and tourism; and foster collaboration between neighboring communities.
