The sound of music in New Jersey


Throughout the year, the state of New Jersey is host to a variety of music festivals. The diverse array of festivals take place inside and outside, across the state, featuring many different styles and genres of music. Some of these festivals offer educational opportunities and others give rental bus visitors a chance to both camp out and listen to some of their favorite music. Visit New Jersey with a bus, coach bus, party bus, mini bus, passenger coach or school bus rented from Bus Companies New Jersey and enjoy some of the best music of today.
At the beginning of May, contemporary pop musicians gather at New Jersey's Meadowlands Sports Complex in East Rutherford for this two-day event. Started in 2002 by John D'Esposito and Coachella producer Kevin Kopacko, the festival is intended to recreate Coachella on the East Coast for New Jersey rental bus visitors, albeit with its own personality. The festival features nine stages of the most popular rock, hip-hop and alternative musicians of the day. Unlike other outdoor festivals, Bamboozle plays rain or shine.
A Rutger's student-led event since 1975, the New Jersey Folk Festival aims to highlight folk culture while teaching students festival management and public relations skills. Rental bus visitors can watch the festival's eclectic group of musicians perform music from around the world. The festival has seen Highland bagpipers, Middle-Eastern ensembles and singers of ancient West African songs. The festival also puts on a juried craft market with over 100 booths, a singer/songwriter competition and a children's area with activities ranging from a potato sack race to free face painting to a pie-eating contest. The day-long festival is held at the end of April.
Held in the both the spring and the fall, Camp Jam in the Pines is a three-day long festival of bluegrass, country, blues and Americana. In the past, the festival has featured musicians such as Caravan of Thieves, Eilen Jewell and Lower Case Blues. Camping is available at the festival site and the nearby Holiday Inn offers discounts for rental bus visitors to the festival. A small area of the campgrounds is reserved for "quiet" camping; music is prohibited in this area between midnight and 8 a.m.
Rental bus visitors can hear the latest in leading edge music when upcoming artists of the Tri-State area are given the opportunity to showcase their work in front of thousands of people during the Wave Gathering Music Festival. Held in mid-June, the festival is a weekend-long event and takes place at a number of bars, restaurants, churches and other venues in downtown Asbury Park. Most of the event takes place on Cookman Avenue, including the free street festival held on the Saturday of the event. The musicians who play the festival are upcoming artists from all genres, and are able to hear from and connect with industry leads through the festival.
New Jersey has never sounded better than during a rental bus visit during a music festival. Give Bus Companies New Jersey a call today to plan your rental bus trip, and travel to the festival in style and comfort in your rental bus.
