The weather held out for Main Street during Moorestown Day on June 6.
Todd Williams has lived in town for about 25 years, and he loves its small, friendly feel. He’s attended Moorestown Day over the years and enjoys the Main Street businesses.
“We have a lot of nice stuff,” he said. “Whenever there’s an event in town, I try to go all over.”
Denisse Sinchi has lived in town for three years and loves the community around her. Everyone is kind and welcoming, she noted, but most of all, she loves the school district. Having attended the Main Street event before, Sinchi was there to have fun with her daughters.
“I am pretty amazed by everything in this town,” she offered. “Last year, it was raining (during Moorestown Day), but overall, it was very active. Everybody was very nice and welcoming, and it was very diverse.”
Known as one of the Moorestown Business Association’s (MBA) Main Street events, Moorestown Day had food, vendors, sidewalk sales, entertainment and live performances. Despite how hot it was this year, hundreds of people came out. On hand were new and previous vendors, and it was also the first time for beer sales.
“I’m really excited about the turnout,” said MBA vice president Nika Corbett, now in her fourth year coordinating the event. “It’s been a chiller for people, but everything has been great.”
Kayleen Cunningham moved to Moorestown from Philadelphia in 2020, and loves the community, its schools and how safe everything feels. She and her family have attended Moorestown Day every year to get a sense of all the Main Street businesses and be involved in the activities.
It’s not just Moorestown Day that she and her family like to go to – but any local event in town.
“It gives us a good opportunity to get out of the house and just be around other people in town and let the kids run around and play,” Cunningham explained. “We love the local food, and the diversity in all the cuisine is something that we appreciate coming from the city, because we had a lot of that there.
“So we love coming out and trying all the local cuisines and restaurants and supporting them that way.”
MoorArts’ annual district art show – also on June 6 – featured work from K-12 students in the Community House ballroom. That event was busy with residents proud to see the work of talented students, according to MoorArts’ trustee Lorrie Hullfish.
“It’s very impressive,” she noted. “It’s so fulfilling. Of all the events that we do, this is my favorite. Even the 3-D and ceramic work … Even the younger kids know that our school district has kilns available for the kids to use … So, I think it’s amazing.”
Reetika Sarin has lived in Moorestown for 12 years and loves its small-town feel. It’s a good community, she added, one where everybody comes together. Besides Moorestown Day, Sarin also likes to attend the nonprofit Homegrown Moorestown’s The Longest Table, Porch Fest and the 4th of July parade.
It felt good for her to see so many people at Moorestown Day – an event she’s been attending since its inception – supporting small businesses.
“(It’s) just the community feeling,” she enthused, “getting to know more of what small businesses do, just supporting them, supporting the MBA and the Moorestown community.”
Friends and family enjoyed a day of rest and relaxation on Main Street during Moorestown Day on June 6.
“I am pretty amazed by everything in this town,” said Denisse Sinchi, who attended Moorestown Day with her daughters.
