Calling all residents, businesses, clubs, and non-profit organizations

Now is the time for your business or organization to start planning for the biggest community event of the summer!  Berkeley Heights Business & Civic has announced the return of the overwhelmingly popular Berkeley Heights Downtown Summer Block Party.

Scheduled for Sunday, June 4, 2023 from 12 – 4 pm, the Downtown Summer Block Party will be held on Springfield Ave., from Snyder Ave. to Plainfield Ave.   Our 2022 Block Party hosted ten to twelve thousand locals and another great crowd is anticipated.

Open to the public, with free rides and activities for kids, the block party will be a celebration of everything that is Berkeley Heights – businesses, schools – public and private – restaurants, youth groups, clubs, service organizations, churches, sports groups, township departments, and first responders.

Less a fundraiser – any profits, after operating expenses, will be split between the town’s First Responders.

The block party will feature local entertainers, rides, games, food and drink for purchase from local restaurants, food trucks, and free activities.  Each organization will be asked to provide an activity or giveaway at its booth site.  Those businesses or organizations that can’t attend in person have the opportunity to sponsor children’s activities.

Local entertainers are being sought for the main stage, sponsored by Union County Freeholders.  If you would like to showcase your garage band, dance group, martial arts club, this is your chance to shine.

Sponsorships are now available, and we are currently taking reservations for activity space.  Do you have an activity that will spotlight your business or organization?  It’s a great time to promote your organization – all local service clubs and non-profits will be on the street.  Have a local restaurant?  Be known!

Companies that sponsor a ride or activity will be promoted on the ride and on all press releases.  Join local businesses: The Liberty Group, Delicious Heights, Tapinto, Massage Envy, Grain & Cane, Smith Chiropractic, and Taylor Rental Center as sponsors for this year’s festivities.  We have also secured the local Peak Media mobile sign truck which will display all sponsor names and logos throughout the event.

Berkeley Heights Business & Civic is an organization made up of local retail, service, and professional businesses that are working hand in hand with local government for the benefit of all residents of Berkeley Heights.  Networking, education, and promoting the Berkeley Heights business community are organization objectives.

Please register by May 1^st and join the party.
