Join us for HarvestFest, our annual celebration of Fall on Springfield Avenue. This wonderful family event offers something for every member of your family to enjoy. There’s lots of great things for the kids to do and just as much for the parents.
For the kids, there’s pumpkin painting, a bounce house, an instrument ‘zoo’, pony rides, face painting, glitter tattoos, and crafts. And that’s just for starters! Plus, we like to keep the parents happy, too, so there will be many wonderful retail vendors selling a great variety of fun merchandise, plus local merchants and non profit companies will be on site so adults can also learn more about what’s happening in our town.
To top it off and keep the groove going, there will be three live local bands playing and performances and demos by our Springfield Avenue merchants! Starting things off will be Roll On Two, an awesome teen band that will surely get your feet tapping, plus the ever fun Mood Ring, and rounding out the day, The Baby Please with Nat Grauman. If this band can’t make you sing, none can! Performance times are:
11:00 – 11:45 – Roll on Two – teen band
12:00 – 12:45 – Mood Ring
1:00 – 1:45- Special performances by Inspirational Dance and Viva Z Club

So mark your calendars, and come on out for a really wonderful day in our amazing little town.

Maplewood is a picturesque town in Essex County, 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.
