Moorestown Day is one of four Main Street events hosted by the township’s business association.
The 51st annual Moorestown Day will be held on Main Street from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, June 7.
This event is one of four – the others are Moorestown Day, Daffodil Day, Autumn in Moorestown and the Main Street Candlelight Stroll – events run by the Moorestown Business Association (MBA).
“We have a lot of new vendors coming through, so I think that is probably the most exciting piece – to see new businesses who have not been with us in the past – being able to be there to display their products and services,” said event chair and MBA vice president Nika Corbett.
“We always look forward to these events for the community, and we think they’re great for people to come see,” observed MBA President Paul Schultz.
Moorestown Day will feature more than 150 vendors, children’s activities, food trucks and live music, including the local band Lost In Brunswick, on the Community House lawn.
“Moorestown Day is a perfect summer event,” Schultz said. “People can come out and enjoy the weather and have a great time.”
The Moorestown school district art show – also on June 7 – will be held at the Community House from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Artwork from K-12 students in the district will be on display, a collaborative effort between the district staff and MoorArts. Visual Arts teachers from each building select, matte and label all the work for the show.
The Mad’s Fest, featuring the Moorestown High School Madrigals band, the Upper Elementary School’s sixth-grade chorus and other school groups, will be held on the Community House lawn from 1 to 3 p.m.
“Seeing the progression from kindergarten artwork to AP studio art student artwork is incredible,” noted Patricia Rowe, district supervisor of arts and technology. “Beyond skill development, you can see the development of one’s artistic voice through their work.
“Students are proud to show off their artwork,” she added. “Families are excited to see their child’s work as well as all the other artwork within the show.”
“It’s amazing and it’s cute to be the fly on the wall and listen to people as they walk through, and these are people who may not even have a child in Moorestown’s school district,” observed MoorArts trustee Lorrie Hullfish. “Everybody is just amazed. I’m flabbergasted … The kids are incredibly talented and it’s really amazing to see.
“It’s quite a display.”
Moorestown Day will be held rain or shine. For more information, visit the MBA’s website or social media.
“Being able to see the greatness at the end,” Corbett stated, “where everybody is happy, it’s just an exhilarating experience.”
“We have a gathering place,” Schultz pointed out, “a Main Street, and this allows us as a community to see your neighbors.”
