Celebrate fall during Witherspoon Grill’s first annual “Harvest & Music Festival” presented on Sunday, October 11th from 12 noon to 5pm at Witherspoon Plaza (adjacent to the Princeton Public Library on Witherspoon Street). This family-friendly outdoor event (rain or shine) will feature live music, kid’s activities and great food and spirits.
The festivities kick-off with live performances, which continue throughout the day:
12:00 pm - The Highland Park Quartet
1:15 pm - The Carole Lynne Quartet
2:30 pm - Matt Richards (guitar soloist)
4:00 pm - The 6th Street Quarternion
Relax and enjoy the music along with a delicious array of foods available for purchase from Witherspoon Grill, Blue Point Grill, Nassau Street Seafood & Produce Company and Sweet Mama’s, along with freshly-baked harvest pies from JM Group. Kids can enjoy pumpkin painting, apple decorating, face painting, contests and more. Entrance is free, and a portion of all proceeds from food and activity sales will benefit the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen (T.A.S.K.).
“We wanted to bring a fun celebration of the fall harvest season to the town, while at the same time using the event to give back to the community by collecting donations and raising funds for those in need, especially given the hardships that so many are facing this year,” said Jack Morrison, President of JM Group.
Donations to T.A.S.K. will be collected during the Harvest & Music Festival. In addition, all JM Group businesses (Witherspoon Grill, Blue Point Grill and Nassau Street Seafood & Produce Company) will collect donations beginning September 16th up to and including the festival day.
T.A.S.K. is in need of the following non-perishable items (no glass, please): powdered milk, canned green beans, corn and mixed vegetables, spaghetti sauce, canned fruit, canned chicken or beef gravy, salad dressing, rice, spaghetti, elbow macaroni, vegetarian beans), individual servings of Jello or pudding that do not require refrigeration, juice boxes. Hygiene items including toothpaste, toothbrushes, deodorant, razors, shampoo and hand/body lotion are also appreciated.
