Hit a Music Festival

Other bands performing include The Flaming Lips, Jenny Lewis, The Maccabees and more.
June 5–6. $179 for two-day pass. Beach camping $20 (space limited). gentlemenoftheroad.com/stopovers
Celebrate Oktoberfest 4 Months Early
Ring in summer, Oktoberfest-style at Germania Park in Dover. All your autumn favorites will be there—Bratwurst, beer, lederhosen—you’ll just be celebrating a few months early. And while you’re listening to live music and drinking pints, you might, just for a minute, wish for fall to come sooner.
June 27–28. $5. 973-328-9693 germaniapark.com
See a Great Movie
With more than 100 film premieres to look forward to, going to the theater sure beats sitting on the couch watching Netflix.
