OMNY Taiko Concert @ Cranford Community Center
Oct 15 @ 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm
OMNY Taiko Concert @ Cranford Community Center

Join OMNY Taiko for an interactive Taiko performance! Taiko (太鼓, literally “big drum”) is a type of Japanese percussion that has been played for well over 1,000 years. Traditionally, taiko were used in religious ceremonies, festivals, and as theatrical accompaniment. Kumi-daiko, or ensemble drumming, was created in the 1950s. In kumi-daiko, many drummers play different-sized drums to create complex rhythms and stylized performances. This style of taiko drumming has become extremely popular and taiko groups have formed all across the world.

This program is for all-ages! Sponsored by the Friends of the Cranford Public Library.

2nd Annual Mischief Night Concert @ Michael Mauri Gazebo Park
Oct 30 @ 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm

2nd Annual Mischief Night Concert Program Coming to Roselle Park This Halloween

Back by popular demand, The Borough of Roselle Park will be hosting its second annual
Mischief Night Concert & Program on Sunday, October 30, 2022. The concert is free to attend
and will take place at Michael Mauri Gazebo Park (16 E. Grant Avenue) from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.
The concert’s headliner will be The Empire Band, a six-piece band assembled in the downtown
clubs of lower Manhattan. Deemed “New York’s Livest,” The Empire Band has a song bank of
over 300 songs performed by highly-accomplished musicians, meaning no show is ever the
same.

The event is open to all! Free kids activities will also be available at both Michael Mauri Gazebo
Park and at the Youth Center (234 Chestnut Street). These activities are made possible by
Robert Gordon Elementary School PTA, Roselle Park High School PTSA, Roselle Park Middle
School PTA, Aldene Elementary School PTO, Sherman Elementary School PTA, and the
Anthony Signorello Youth Center.

“Last year’s Mischief Night Concert was a tremendous hit, and I look forward to seeing even
more residents join in on the fun this year,” said Mayor Joe Signorello. “With an amazing band
ready to perform all night long and free kids activities, there’s plenty for the entire family to
enjoy. I hope to see Roselle Park’s residents creating Halloween memories at this event!
