FAIR HAVEN – Fair Haven Day is back with a bang!
Packed with games, activities and fireworks for all, it will be held Saturday, June 14 at Fair Haven Fields on Ridge Road.
“I’m excited that it appears we may have started a wonderful family tradition celebrating the Borough of Fair Haven that began with our 2012 Centennial Celebration,” said Councilwoman Susan Sorenson, who is also president of the Fair Haven Foundation. “Last year, our first actual Fair Haven Day was such a special day for so many that we wanted to continue to celebrate Fair Haven.
“The feeling of community is palpable all day and everyone really enjoys it all with their family and friends,” she said. “We have an exciting new menu, along with some other terrific additions to continue to have another outstanding event.”
The event starts at 3:30 p.m. and ends with fireworks at 9 p.m. It is a family fun event with the “Rec-N-Crew” – members of the Fair Haven recreation department – on hand to keep children entertained with games and activities while their parents relax and enjoy the event.
