Essex County’s official Summer Concert Series lights up Tuesday nights with performances in parks across multiple towns, including Belleville, Bloomfield, Caldwell, Irvington, Newark, and Verona. These shows are part of a countywide effort to bring live music to local communities, and they often feature classic rock, jazz, and pop acts for all ages to enjoy. Concerts rotate between towns each Tuesday, so be sure to check the schedule above for details.
In the eastern part of Essex County, towns like Newark, East Orange, Orange, and Irvington frequently draw local residents together for music and community spirit. Meanwhile, the western side of the county hosts concerts in scenic parks across towns like Livingston, West Orange, Caldwell, Roseland, and Verona, where families gather for relaxed evenings of live music and fresh air.
Whether you’re enjoying a lively performance in the heart of South Orange or exploring the musical offerings in Maplewood or Millburn, Essex County summer concerts deliver something for everyone. From big band and Motown to folk and contemporary pop, these events celebrate the county’s cultural richness and shared love of music.
