Cranford Calendar

Cranford Tuff Paddle is not your typical team obstacle course fun run. Heck, there’s only one obstacle you’ll need to literally navigate: The Rahway River!

The party of the fall is back, as the Cranford Jaycees’ annual Oktoberfest returns in-person for its 9th year. Tickets go on sale in early September.

The 22nd Annual Rose Squared Art Show sponsored by the Essex County Parks is returning to Brookdale Park, October 16-17, 2021. The park is turned into an outdoor art gallery with over 120 artists displaying a wide variety of fabulous art for home and body. Come see one-of-a-kind paintings, ceramics, glass, wood, art jewelry and clothing, photography, sculpture, and mixed media. The show hours are 10 am to 5 pm, rain or shine, and free to the public. This show has been designated as a top 200 Art Show for the past 10 years by Sunshine Artist Magazine.

The show is located on Watchung, Bellevue, and Grove Avenues in Bloomfield/Montclair. The park can be reached by taking the Garden State Parkway to Exit 151, Watchung Ave, traveling one mile towards Bloomfield/Montclair on Watchung Ave. For more information and a list of participating exhibitors, go to www.rosesquared.com.
