From farmer's markets and beach BBQs to concerts and community nights, Morris County is bustling with diverse events that celebrate local culture and offer fun for all ages this August.

From the sun-drenched rows of East Hanover's Farmer's Market to the vibrant evening melodies at Rockaway Gazebo, summer in Morris County is bursting with community spirit and local flavor. 

As we step into August, the air is filled with the scent of fresh produce and the sounds of laughter and music. Imagine walking through Lurker Park, basket in hand, picking out the freshest vegetables, or swaying to classic rock as the sun sets. 

Whether it’s the family-friendly BBQ at Brookside Beach or a tranquil evening of yoga in Mendham Borough Park, there’s no shortage of ways to revel in the warm weather and community camaraderie.
