NJ Friends of Clearwater thanks you for being in Asbury Park for our 49th Annual Festival

It was great to be back in beautiful Sunset Park in Asbury Park for our 49th Annual NJ Clearwater Festival. Hundreds of visitors roamed the beautifully renovated park, listening to the music, visiting vendors and environmental exhibits, and sampling dishes from a wide array of food trucks. In all, our return to Asbury was a modest success, despite the rain and rain chances forecast on both August 31st and September 1st.

Please enjoy the photos taken at the Festival.

Thank you - Ben Forest, Diane Beeny, Robert McKay, John Verdecias, Kathleen Turner, Ginni Koehler, Dale Lakata, Lynn Humphrey, and Haya Zimmerman Gray - for the pictures

​It was a glorious day on the Navesink River in Red Bank for all those who came to sing and sail or to just take it all in with us on a late summer Sunday, September 3, 2023.  NJ Friends of Clearwater's Circle of Song performed on the grass by the river and welcomed visitors to sing along and enjoy the sun and the breezes.

Our partners for the event, the Navesink Maritime Heritage Association (NMHA), took dozens of passengers out for sails on the glimmering Navesink in our second-generation Garvey sailboat, named ”Pete’s Banjo” in honor of our spiritual founder, the late Pete Seeger.

There was environmental and membership information, T-shirts and bags for sale; and coloring books for kids available at our tents. 
A truly wonderful day by the river!
