Each summer, the Bergen County Parks Department presents its official “Movies & Music in the Park” series, offering free concerts and outdoor films in scenic locations like Overpeck Park in Ridgefield Park and Riverside County Park in North Arlington. These events run from July through August, with live music performances beginning at 7 PM and family-friendly movies shown at sunset—creating a festive, all-ages experience under the evening sky.
Bergen County’s free summer concerts bring live music to communities across the region, with performances held weekly in towns like Bergenfield, Elmwood Park, Fort Lee, Hackensack, Lyndhurst, Paramus, Ridgewood, Rutherford, Saddle Brook, Teaneck, Tenafly, and more. These town-sponsored events showcase everything from rock and jazz to Motown and tribute bands, offering residents a relaxing way to enjoy warm summer evenings.
Concerts are typically scheduled on weeknights and rotate between parks, gazebos, and outdoor stages across the county. Whether you’re in a riverside town like Edgewater or enjoying a show on the green in Mahwah or Hillsdale, Bergen County’s summer music series delivers a festive atmosphere for all ages.
As New Jersey’s most populous county, Bergen balances urban vibrancy and suburban charm, and its concert series reflects that mix. Residents in towns like Englewood and Fair Lawn often enjoy larger performances in bustling downtown areas, while quieter communities like Old Tappan and Demarest host more intimate musical evenings under the stars.
From upbeat cover bands and danceable classics to family-friendly shows in scenic parks, the Bergen County summer concerts lineup celebrates the region’s diversity and love of live entertainment. Be sure to check the schedule above to see what’s playing near you.
