Maplewoodstock Music and Art Festival 2024: Headliners and Schedule
The annual free two-day festival will take place on Saturday, July 13, and Sunday, July 14.
From Maplewoodstock Volunteer Committee:
The annual free two-day Maplewoodstock Music and Arts Festival will take place on Saturday, July 13, and Sunday, July 14, 2024. Music begins at noon each day and ends around 9:30 PM.
Remember Jones will bring Saturday night to a rockin’ close.
Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country headlines the festival on Sunday night.
Preceding each of those acts are Nation Beat on Saturday evening and local phenom The Tia Holt Experience on Sunday
These headliners follow a full slate of local/regional bands each chosen from over 100 band applications from across the tri-state region in a variety of styles and genres from rock to reggae, R&B to jazz, grunge to Latin and pop to Americana.
National touring artist Remember Jones is heralded as “New Jersey’s most ambitious song interpreter” and recently one of “Jersey Shore’s Most Influential People of 2024” by the Asbury Park Press (along side Bruce Springsteen, Kevin Smith, and more). Remember Jones is a captivating showman, soul/pop singer, storyteller, and bandleader, who keeps audiences on their toes and emotions in the moment.
Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country is an organic rock band aesthetic with plenty of roadhouse twang, a showcase for Donato’s instrumental virtuosity, and facility for melodically infectious songcraft. Bridging Nashville and the Great West, Kentucky and mid-60s norther California, tie-dye and plaid.
Nation Beat, led by a local music educator Scott Kettner, harvests the fruit of 500 years or cultural crossbreeding resulting in a 21st century mash-up of the thunderous grooves of northeastern Brazil with the strolling swagger of New Orleans via NYC.
The Tia Holt Experience is the Voice you need to hear and the Experience you need to have. With every note, they soar to new heights, delivering an unforgettable performance.

First held in 2004, Maplewoodstock is a free event held in Memorial Park in a natural grass amphitheater, steps away from the Maplewood train station (NJ Transit) and the charming village of Maplewood. In addition to 9 hours of music each day, it also features approximately 20 food vendors, 60 art vendors, 20 Kidzone vendors, and a beer and wine garden (in partnership with SO Elks Lodge #1154) featuring beverages from regional brewers and vintners.
In addition to being free, Maplewoodstock is committed to being accessible and open-armed to all our attendees. The festival will offer handicapped parking spots, handicapped accessible port-o-potties, a Senior Tent in partnership with SOMA’s Two Towns for All Ages, a Deaf Zone sign language interpretation area staffed by volunteers, and a sensory “chill out” tent for those who might need respite from our sights, sounds, and crowds. Several of our food vendors will offer vegetarian and vegan foods. Furthermore, the South Orange Volunteer Rescue Squad will be on-site for any medical issues.

With much support from local businesses and t-shirt sales, Maplewoodstock continues to be true to its mission of presenting the best possible musical show and gathering for the community and of the community with nationally known closing acts and a collection of regional bands with strong Maplewood and South Orange representation.

Mark Slade has told us, "This is always my favorite event of the year and a highlight for the goings on in Maplewood, NJ. The event is always open to everyone and there is no charge to come out an enjoy a day of music, with food vendors and more.

A picturesque town in Essex County, Maplewood is located on the
East Branch of the Rahway River. Originally consisting of farms, mills and
orchards, Maplewood is now a great mix of residential and commercial areas,
culminating in the jewel of a downtown village and coming together to create a
charming, tight-knit and diversified community. Maplewood has predominantly
Colonial and Tudor style homes with sprawling porches and ample greenery, but
you can also find some Victorians and a range of more modern style construction
on its beautiful tree lined streets. Maplewood is a diverse town with 6
elementary schools and prominent municipal building designed by famous
architects, Guilbert and Betelle. In the center of town, famed landscape
architects, the Olmstead Brothers, created the breathtaking Memorial Park; not
to be overlooked is Ricalton Square, nestled between the train station and the
downtown shopping; this area is frequently used for events including a
Halloween Parade with hayrides and petting zoos, as well as featuring replica
homes during the Winter Holiday Season. The town offers many activities to its
residents from camps in the summer, arts and crafts classes, a public pool
(with 4 pools ranging from a “baby” pool to toddler pool to large lap pool and
a diving tank) and a farmers market when in season. There is even an annual
musicalpalooza--Maplewoodstock—featuring a variety of bands and musical styles,
showcasing local and national bands with booths for local businesses to set up.
The Village, also known as Maplewood Center, is a quaint, downtown shopping
district with everything from restaurants with foods from all over the world,
bakeries, dance studios, gyms, bookstores, a movie theater and bookstores. With
its large variety of cuisines to choose from, Maplewood recently started a
yearly town-wide Restaurant Week with over 30 eateries participating. Easily
accessible by its throughways and the New Jersey Transit, it's no surprise
Maplewood has been ranked several times as one of the most desirable places to
live in America by a number of surveys. Let's work together to find you your
Dream Home!
