Toms River Fest Returns on August 2-3
We are happy to share with you the exciting news that Toms River Fest will be returning this summer! The two-day music and community festival will take place on Saturday, August 2nd and Sunday, August 3rd on the campus of Toms River High School North.
Toms River Fest will once again directly benefit the students of the Toms River Regional Schools. This year, the festival will specifically benefit the Toms River Schools Technology Foundation. A $2 fee will be added to the price of each ticket for this fund.
The Foundation has been in existence since the mid-90s and has raised over $600,000 to help upgrade and buy technology for our children. Just this past year, the Foundation provided $400,000 to purchase over 600 computers, printers, and supplies.
The Toms River Regional Schools has partnered with Concerts East and AEG Live to bring national headline music talent and family-oriented activities to Toms River for a third year.
Carrie Underwood will headline Saturday’s schedule with Lifehouse, Push Play, The Lost Trailers, and Mr. Ray also performing. On Sunday, Daughtry will headline and Avril Lavigne, Live, and Collective Soul will also perform. In addition to concerts, patrons will enjoy carnival and musical attractions for children, a food court, BMX bike demonstrations, a video arcade, and numerous community-oriented exhibits and displays.
