Neptune Township Hosts Riverfest, Sept 29th

Sept. 24, 2012 - PRLog -- Breaking away from the traditional Neptune Day, Neptune Township will hold its second annual Neptune Riverfest which promises to be a great community event with fun filled activities for everyone who participates. Riverfest is a true community event with representatives from many government departments, non-profit organizations and local businesses present to showcase what makes Neptune Township special.

“This year there will definitely be a basketball component to the event along with a rock-climbing wall, inflatables, face-painting and live music all day,” said Mike Hollemans, event coordinator with The Passion Group who is handling the logistics for the event.

Bring your appetite; because this year’s food lineup is going to be epic! From Max’s hot dog truck, the Spot Latin Grill, Johhny’s BBQ to Kona Italian Ice and Il Pavone Gelateria for dessert, your stomach will definitely be satisfied for the day. (Please bring non-perishable food items as we will be collecting for the food pantry.)

Plan to do some shopping while you’re at Riverfest, with over 50 specialty and artistic vendors on site, there is sure to be something you’ll have to have.

In an effort to make parking easy at the event, the Township is providing a free shuttle from the parking lot across from Midtown Commons Park and the Municipal building. It will run approximately every 15 minutes throughout the event day.  

For the adults that come to Riverfest, Headliner will be providing an outdoor beer garden serving ice cold Coors light and a selection of Barefoot wines. Live music will be performed by the Matt Wade band, Guns 4 Hire Trio and local Reggae Band Random Test.
