Another gorgeous July weekend with many happenings to enjoy!
Of course, Maplewoodstock is THE local event this weekend. The festival will offer two days of great music and art. But there are also some other great events to enjoy.
Here’s what else is happening in the Villages (and beyond) this weekend:
For one week in July, New Jersey goes French. Between July 6 – 14, which is Bastille Day (France’s Independence Day) Le French Week will offer fun events celebrating all things French. There are many events throughout NJ—from French dinners in Montclair to a night out at L’Occitane en Provence in Paramus—but lucky for us, there is a great event in Millburn! Café Monet will offer a 3 course prix-fixe menus as part of the celebration.
