Tickets are on sale for Prudential North to Shore Festival, but if you haven’t scored seats to see artists like Jon Stewart, Amy Poehler and Tina Fey, Brenda K. Starr or LL Cool J, your family can experience the arts and culture of New Jersey with a day of free events in Asbury Park.
The Asbury Underground Downtown Art and Music Crawl will fill the streets of downtown Asbury on June 21 with free concerts, comedy shows, workshops, poetry readings and art exhibits. The festival was on hiatus from 2020 to 2023, but came back last year as part of North to Shore.
There will be 80 performances and events highlighting the talents of hundreds of area musicians, visual artists, poets and comedians at more than 30 different venues.
Special events include a tribute to artist and Underground crew member Joe Harvard, spoken word poetry hosted by Chris Rockwell, a jazz stage at Homesick restaurant, and the return of The Literally Underground Comedy Show.
Stores, galleries, restaurants and salons along the Cookman Avenue will have their own events going on.
The Asbury Underground Downtown Art and Music Crawl will take place from 12-7 pm June 21. Pick up a map and follow the route to all of the stages and venues. Performances will kick off every 15 minutes. All events are free.
Prudential North to Shore Festival will feature concerts and events mainly from June 14 to 29 (with some taking place throughout the year) in Newark, Asbury Park, Red Bank, Montclair and Atlantic City. You can try to score free tickets by taking place in a scavenger hunt in Asbury and Newark on May 31.
