This year’s Light of Day WinterFest will take place in January, with the main show, “Bob’s Birthday Bash,” scheduled for The Count Basie Center for the Arts in Red Bank, Jan. 18.
In this post, I am going to keep a list of all Light of Day 2024 WinterFest shows, updating it as they are announced.
All shows are in Asbury Park unless otherwise noted. I have included individual ticket links for the shows, but for overall information on the festival, visit lightofday.org.
Over the past 25 years, Light of Day has raised more than $6.5 million to combat Parkinson’s disease and related disorders.
The main show, scheduled for Jan. 18 at The Count Basie Center for the Arts in Red Bank, is titled “Bob’s Birthday Bash” in honor of Light of Day founder Bob Benjamin.
