There is a street fair in Cranford scheduled for Sunday, Oct. 18, 2009. It is sponsored by the same organization as the fair held in May. It is a rain/shine event. Unfortunately, rain pretty much washed out the event in May. Here’s hoping the Oct. fair has great weather. The people of Cranford seem to have great community spirit as they were out with umbrellas and rain gear in May. My website is listed above and I will be a vendor at this upcoming event. Look for me in the area of the car show. Hope to see you there.

Janet,
Thanks for the information. How is anyone supposed to find out about these street fairs? The streetfairs.com website list no information for the public at all, not even a list of shows or dates of shows.
Are the Cranford Street Fairs a secret? Are they only for the citizens of Cranford? I would love to post more information about these events, but there seems to be no more information!

New Brunswick, NJ (July 20, 2009)—The State Theatre presents the annual return of the New Jersey Blues & Jazz Festival at the Backstage Jazz Club, September 24-26, 2009. It’s an all-star musical lineup in an intimate setting for serious and casual jazz and blues fans alike. Featured performances during the festival include Rod Piazza & The Mighty Flyers (9/24/09 at 8pm & 10pm); Marcia Ball (9/25/09 at 8pm & 10pm); and the Yellowjackets (9/26/09 at 8pm & 10pm).
All three performances take place in the exclusive 230-seat club-style venue on stage. Tickets for State Theatre donors (Benefactor and up) are on sale now. Tickets for the general public go on sale Friday, July 24 at 10am. Tickets range from $35-50. The festival has been made possible by the generous support of New Millennium Bank.
“The New Jersey Blues and Jazz Festival is one of my favorite weekends of the entire year. There is absolutely nothing better than sitting 10 feet away from world class artists listening to them play! It’s like being in their living room! And the lineup this year is nothing short of stupendous. Rod Piazza tore the house down last year and is high, high energy! You’ll never see Marcia Ball in a venue this intimate . . . NEVER. And life on a Saturday night with the Yellow Jackets and your favorite beverage doesn’t get any better. I plan on living at the theatre that weekend,” commented State Theatre President & CEO Wes Brustad.
