Entertainment Update!

Starting in the afternoon, event organizers will be hosting a Battle of the Bands competition taking place from 2-5:30 p.m. under the Dining and Entertainment tent.

All interested bands (or singer-songwriters) must apply in advance to be considered for the competition. CDs may be dropped off at the Hackettstown BID office, 219 Main Street, or links to music may be emailed to staff@hackettstownbid.com. Please include a short biography and contact information with your submission. Special consideration will be given to original music, but not entirely necessary. All styles of music are encouraged to apply. The deadline for entry is April 24, 4 p.m. Bands that are chosen for the competition will be notified by Friday April 26.

The winning band will receive $150 in BID Bucks, good to spend at most businesses in Hackettstown.

Following the Battle of the Bands, the evening show will feature performances by ‘Buck Dilly & Live Bait' at 6:00 pm and ‘Quimby Mountain Band' starting at 8 p.m.

In addition the event organizers are looking for Exhibition groups for Sunday Afternoon from 2:00 pm - 5:30 pm. Call the HBID office for your group to be included in the Exhibition!

Calico-wait until the festival is over. Bet there will be some. Use to take my kids to the festival when they were little. They loved it. Miss doing that.

I believe that was a reference to someone complaining that they ran out of free candy to give away last year.

Natalie - it was researched, unfortunately there is not enough room to do it safely with proximity to homes and the hatchery.

So, if anyone knows some groups that would like to do demonstrations / exhibitions at the Spring Festival on Sunday, have them contact us!

The time slots are filling up and it looks to be a nice variety!

Is the only place wristbands are for sale for tonight/Sun at the Carnival, or are there presale locations?

Hi Tiger - there are no presales for wristbands, they must be purchased at the Carnival.

Does anybody know the limitations for the rides for the little ones? We went last year and my older child was allowed to ride, but my youngest was not. We are at the age now, if she sees big brother riding & she can't we'll have a meltdown. I believe they went by age and not height? Any info would be appreciated.

Sorry jrsemom - didn't see this - the entrance to parking is at 5th by the Hatchery School that might be a good place for drop off / pick up.

Great fair again this year! As always, the vendors were welcoming and generous! Good job Hackettstown BID!


Thanks Res2 --- Judging by the photo's and video's we're seeing everyone had a great time - a couple of weather wrinkles, but otherwise a great weekend!

Thanks to all of the hard working Volunteers, Staff, Vendors, Performers, WRNJ and everyone else who made this event possible!

I attended the Spring Festival with my Family.

The festival really appeared to run smoothly.

Thank everyone that gave their free time and Mars for the generous donations of candy.

I love Spring Festival! A great time to get out, meet your neighbors, say hi to those you haven't seen all winter. Free candy is always welcome. Thanks to M&M for their generosity. We do appreciate it. My only concern is that we seem to have rain most years at this time of spring. Have the organizers ever considered moving it a few weeks into May for the chance of better, less rainy weather? I know, we live in N.J., it rains a lot here. Just a thought. Very organized, parking was a breeze. Thanks to the fire dept.


The Spring Festival was very nice and enjoyable as always. Thanks to the Sponsors, the Bid, Centenary College, the Volunteers, RNJ and all those involved who contributed their time and effort to this event.
