What is the festival?

A Farm-to-Festival Celebration of Local Jersey Tomatoes, Sweet Corn, and Craft Beer! This sweet summer event brings local farmers, boutique restaurants, food trucks, 10 craft breweries, live bands, artisans, and kids’ activities together to celebrate everything great about Central NJ in the summertime!

In August, the summer harvest meets the artisan district at Flemington’s Stangl Road, where the Annual Corn, Tomato, and Beer Festival celebrates sweet Jersey tomatoes, heirloom corn, local craft beer, live music, and family activities from noon to 8 p.m.

Attended by thousands, the event offers farm-to-table cuisine and an homage to NJ’s beloved corn and tomato dishes prepared by local restaurants and farmers. It also features a beer garden featuring 10 local New Jersey craft breweries.
