Music + Shopping = Downtown in the Summer
So WOW officially ended today. I can't remember if we had one sunny day during WOW, but we still managed to have a good time. It really was a great run. This year we added Mamma Lucia, Funny Bonz and the NJ State Museum Friend's Shop to our roster of vendors, and expect several other new ones, including (for all you pet lovers) a vendor that sells gourmet pet treats. These folks and all your other favorites will be returning for the Capital City Market on on East State Street on July 9, so mark your calendars. While you're at it, circle June 30. Why? Concerts on the Landing, the free weekly concert series produced by the Patriots Theater at The War Memorial, kicks off that Tuesday with Doreleena "Lady D" Sammons-Posey. The series, held from noon to 2 pm every Tuesday until Sept. 8, features live performances by some of the area's best musicians, and food vendors from local area restaurants.
