Jersey Fest is back and ready to bring the Garden State together for a night of music, food, and drinks at the iconic Wonder Bar in Asbury Park on November 2, 2024. This highly anticipated event, spearheaded by Greetings From the Garden State and Radio Garden State, is a celebration of everything that makes New Jersey special.
This year’s lineup promises to electrify the stage with local favorites The Hard Maybes, Christian Sparacio & The Yellowbrooks, and Dentist. Each band brings its own distinct sound and are all homegrown right here in the Garden State.
But Jersey Fest isn’t just about the music—it’s also a celebration of the state’s best brews, spirits, and bites. Attendees can enjoy craft beers from top breweries such as Ghost Hawk Brewing Co., 902 Brewing Co., Asbury Park Brewery, and more and expertly crafted cocktails courtesy of Asbury Park Distilling Co., pillars of New Jersey’s growing craft beverage scene. When it comes to food, festival-goers are in for a treat with beloved NJ staples like Rutt’s Hut, famous for their legendary hot dogs, and Johnny’s Pork Roll and Coffee Too, serving up their mouthwatering pork roll sandwiches. It’s a true taste of New Jersey, perfect for anyone looking to experience the best local flavors.
Event organizer Mike Ham, the host of the Greetings From the Garden State podcast, is excited to bring Jersey Fest back after its highly successful debut earlier this year. “Jersey Fest is about more than just great music—it’s about bringing people together to celebrate the amazing food, drinks, and culture that make New Jersey so unique,” Ham said.
With its combination of top-tier musical acts, local flavors, and undeniable Jersey pride, this year’s Jersey Fest is expected to be bigger and better than ever.

Whether you’re a lifelong Jersey resident or just looking to experience the state’s rich culture, Jersey Fest is a can’t-miss event that encapsulates everything New Jersey has to offer.
