The free New Jersey Clearwater Festival will return from the coronavirus pandemic with live music on the banks of the Navesink River in Red Bank on Aug. 6 (11 a.m. to 7 p.m.) and on Aug. 7 (11 a.m. to 5 p.m.). In addition to music, the 47th annual event will feature environmental information, food and free sailboat rides.
“We are thrilled to be making our live comeback at Riverside Gardens Park,” said New Jersey Friends of Clearwater President Ed Dlugosz, who noted that the 2020 and 2021 festivals were held in a virtual manner on the nonprofit group’s website.
“It’s a beautiful spot to celebrate our environment with music, song and an exhilarating, wind-in-your-hair sail on the Navesink. And be sure to bring a chair or blanket,” he said.
NJ Friends of Clearwater’s own Circle of Song – led by Ingrid Heldt of Ocean Grove, Isis Ra of Neptune and Dale Lakata – will take the Boardwalk Stage to entertain in an open mike, round-robin singalong style.
Environmental organizations such as Clean Ocean Action, the Littoral Society, the Sierra Club, Clean Water Action and the Climate Change Lobby will provide information about events and issues that affect people’s health and well-being. There is also a planned environmental justice roundtable.
