You will love each and every one of these special days!
I love Red Bank in ALL seasons, but here are some must-attend events coming up as the weather grows cooler and the leaves begin to change color.
1. The Galleria Red Bank Farmers Market: The best of the Garden State's bounty is featured every Sunday in the parking lot from now until Nov. 18th. Enjoy the locally harvested produce and products from some of our state's top purveyors every Sunday, along with artfully designed crafts and top food truck attractions like the Cinnamon Snail and Johny's Pork Roll.
2. Red Bank Guinness Oyster Festival: Noon to 7 pm on Sunday, Sept. 30th in Red Bank's White Street parking lot. Try a diverse selection of savory bites, along with beverages, music, and fun for all ages, including fresh oysters, the Emerald Isle's most treasured stout, a petting zoo, a bevy of children's rides and games, and more! Two stages on the festival grounds will include an impressive variety of local and regional bands including Tim McLoone & the Shirleys, Brian Kirk & the Jirks, Pat Roddy Band, Atlantic Watch Pipes & Drums and more.
