The City of Freehold announced their summer festival dates and times in today's Truth and Light newspaper. Here are some of my favorites...
Freehold Founders Days, May 17-20, Main St. between Helms and Lewis, Downtown Freehold
The City of Freehold honors its founding with a re-enactment of the Indian "relocation" by the slaves, er, servants of the founders. The teepee torching at sundown is a timeless Freehold tradition.
Minstrel Days, July 27-29, City Hall Lawn, Main St. and Lewis, Downtown Freehold
Not many people know that Freehold originated many of the Jim Crow laws that were adopted throughout the state during the late 1800s. Minstrel Days is a delightful festival that allows Freeholders to re-live those bygone times with minstrel shows, watermelon eating contests, a Dunk the Uppity Jigaboo machine, an historical re-enactment of the Freehold Lynchings of 1937, and period arts and crafts.
White American Heritage Handicrafts and Art Fair, August 17-19, Freehold Convention Center
The 38th Annual White American Heritage Handicrafts and Art Fair presents dozens of folk artists, arts and crafts vendors, musicians, storytellers and hobbyists displaying the wide variety of handicrafts from White American culture. Enjoy banjo players, baked goods, antiques, NASCAR souveniers, Klan memorabilia, coon shoots, lynch noose tying contests, and marksmanship contests.
True Christian™ Praise Music Jamboree, September 21-23, Stephen Collins Foster Concert Hall, Landover Baptist University
Over 28 different acts will perform as America's greatest True Christian Praise Musicians gather for a weekend of glorious music at Landover Baptist University's Stephen Collins Foster Concert Hall, including The Cooper Family feat. Joyce Cooper, The Christian Crusaders, Rev. Frank Gonzales and The God Squad, The McKeithens, The McDonald Sisters, Ol' Brother Wilfred's Traveling Gospel Singers, The Men's Ministry Choir, and Ratt.
GLORY!!
