A new location, great new acts, and a whole new family carnival: Union County’s MusicFest 2009 offers all the fun of an old time county fair, with 21st century flair. Overlook Hospital is the presenting sponsor of the event, in partnership with the Union County Board of Chosen Freeholders, which features two days of free music on three stages.
MusicFest is scheduled for September 12 and 13 at Oak Ridge Park. A carnival will also be at Oak Ridge from September 10 to September 13.
“MusicFest is Union County’s updated, up-beat version of that great American tradition, the county fair,” said Freeholder Chairman Alexander Mirabella. “It’s a free public gathering for one and all to enjoy, and a stellar opportunity for Overlook Hospital and many other outstanding businesses and non-profits to showcase their civic pride. With a walkathon and a 5k run to raise money to fight cancer, MusicFest connects our little corner of the world with people and communities far beyond our borders.”
