Fanwood Summer FanJam 2024

Borough of Fanwood

Temperatures in the 90s did not deter music enthusiasts and families from turning out for Fanwood FanJam, on Sunday, July 14, at La Grande Park. The event featured live bands, food trucks, a Kids’ Zone and a Beer Garden.

Throughout the day the stage, located under shade trees just off the main ballfield at LaGrande, featured five bands.

FanJam also included over 20 food vendors, vendors selling goods and services and crafts, a Kids Zone area with rides and attractions, and classic cars which lined Helen Street, 2nd Street, and LaGrande Avenue.

Master of ceremonies was local comedian and impresario Marklyn “MisterDirect” Johnson.

Thanks to the Greater Westfield Area Chamber of Commerce and Fanwood resident Aimee Nuzzo for continually putting on this event.
