The Union County Summer Arts Festival concert series continues on July 18th with the band 5 Against 1 taking the stage at Echo Lake Park in Mountainside.
The free series is held at Echo Lake Park during July and moves to Oak Ridge Park in Clark during August.
“We look forward to seeing everyone at Echo Lake Park enjoying another season of great music,” said Union County Freeholder Chairman Sergio Granados. “And please arrive early and participate in UC Get Fit Yoga in the Park, a great way for families to stay healthy together.”
Organizers say 5 Against 1 pays tribute to the band Pearl Jam. They have been performing for over two decades, dedicated to the raw rock and roll sounds of the grunge era.
In addition to enjoying the live band, attendees can purchase refreshments from Benito’s Jersey Curbside Eats and Danny’s Soft Serve Ice Cream or pack a picnic basket, and bring lawn chairs or blankets and enjoy the music under the stars.
Once again UC Get Fit Yoga in the Park, a Union County Freeholder initiative, will be part of the Wednesday night pre-concert schedule, with HOME Power Yoga of Cranford presenting a free community class from 6:30 p.m. to 7:15 p.m.
Attendees are reminded to bring a mat or beach towel.
