A first-of-its-kind endeavor, the festival will take place in three cities in three different parts of New Jersey over three successive weeks: Atlantic City, June 4-11; Asbury Park, June 14-18; and Newark, June 21-25.
Festival details were announced at a press conference at NJPAC in Newark, March 13. Speakers included Gov. Phil Murphy; First Lady Tammy Murphy; NJPAC president CEO John Schreiber; and the mayors of the three cities.
Schreiber called the festival “the brainchild” of the Murphys. He also said that the events announced today represents “only the beginning,” and that “we’ll be adding many more concerts, lectures and conversations in the weeks to come.”
