SUMMARY:Somerset County Diversity Festival

We’ve added a second sound stage to accommodate more artists and will feature performances by a zydeco band\, an Indian fusion duo\, a jazz duo\, an acappella chorus\, and a Latin swing band. There will also be two dance performances. \nFor the first time ever\, the festival will feature a KidZone where games and activities for our youngest county residents will be concentrated. There will be a BounceHouse\, a DJ\, two face painters\, a henna artist and jugglers\, in addition to all the games and activities we’ve planned.  And best of all – there is no charge for any of this. \nTo make the day even more special\, the organizing committee of county employees worked with the Somerset County Business Partnership to solicit prizes from their members and will have drawings throughout the day for an Iron Peak gift bag\, tickets to the Raritan Valley Community College planetarium\, a one-month membership to the Jewish Community Center\, and class passes to Club Pilates.  And do bring your appetite as there will be delicious\, affordable offerings from food trucks\, as well as a passport menu to make you aware of meal specials along Main Street. Come for lunch and stay for dinner.
